Was this from a Porsche Dealer? Did they do an inspection prior to you buying it?

Take this vehicle IMMEDIATELY to a Porsche Dealer and have them do a full inspection as if you were going to buy the car. It must be a Porsche dealer and not your local mechanic. Tell them you want a PPI. Of particular concern with your vehicle is the RMS (rear main seal). I would also check to see if you actually have the original engine (which would not necessarily be a bad thing or unusual).

I would also try and put as many miles as possible on this vehicle while it is still under warranty. I know this sounds strange, but a Porsche with only 11,000 miles after 6 years is a liability and not a bonus.
