Thank you

Thank you MNBoxster I haven't seen your post when I was replying..
It was a great help.

I will get the mechanic to check the leak again, really hope it's not from RMS.
And I hope labour isn't so expensive..spent too much recently having tires changed etc etc

Motor on~~!!

Aquido, you did not write about WHERE the leak was coming from.

Boxsters and 996's are notorious for cam cover leaks, which aren't catastrophic. I have one in fact that bugs me, but my mechanic tells me not to worry about because many of them do this. It's not common for it to mess up the whole engine like the RMS leaking will do.

BTW, some Boxsters are being fitted with the Cayenne's RMS (it fits) as it's more sturdy and is said to last a lot longer. Installation is harder from what I've read though. Don't take my word for it on this one... It's a result of some online reading I've been doing and I am not sure of its real-world truth.

The leak is from

The leak is from centre.

Some sort of linking part behind the place where oil plug and oil filtre.
I will be off to Ecuador soon for a month, so I will try to fix it
when I come back.

Thanks

How much would a dealer charge to have an RMS changed here in the US? TIA!
