Thanks thstone

I would like to go back to the photo I took of inside the IMS. Per Porsche’s design of a sealed IMS bearing, oil inside the IMS is not per design correct? I wonder what Porsche’s forecast was on IMS bearing life if it maintained the grease seal?

I drive my car every day to/from work, and short trips on the weekends, averaging somewhere between 60 to 70 miles a day. With this amount of driving I’m sure my IMS bearing was maintaining a coat of motor oil keeping me off the IMS failure list.
