What I am not in love with is the oil leak that the car has after a hard drive.... this looks like a common RMS leak correct?
There's probably about 2 teaspoons of oil on the ground overnight after a 40 minute round of driving.
I'm personally not going to sweat it, I expected this type of thing when I rolled the dice considering the great price i paid.

Looking good, welcome to the forum. I am sure Mr. Danger will be pleased with the speed yellow. I think it's safe to say that is indeed a RMS leak that occurs to some boxsters. I don't know how mechanical you are, but many forum members have actually replaced the RMS seal themselves and even installed a convertible top. They are very nice cars indeed and love to be driven.

My dad and I intend to tackle the project.. but not immediately.

She has her flaws but I cannot stop staring at this car whenever it's nearby. Wow what a beautiful car, the yellow is not nearly as obnoxious as I imagined it would be in person. ;)

Unfortunately, you can't tell if it's the RMS or IMS leaking until you pull back the tranny...

Welcome to the forum ;)

Nice looking ride...Keep an eye on the oil leak and the oil level. Could be ims, too.

Gotta love your 250HP S motor! Is it manual or auto transmission?

Welcome aboard!

Best choice in color period ! But, you need to bring her up to snuff. :)

Thanks guys, the car is a manual, lots of choice in that 6 speed. WOW!


After the new tires, wheel, headlights come in we'll be pulling the transmission.. The big project I was looking forward to. :)

Welcome! Looks like the car is now in good hands! When you replace your top, get the glass. I got mine from Auto Tops Direct on their eBay store. The broken emblem is another easy fix, I had to do mine as well.

Congratulations Rawley! I think I know exactly how you feel!

As others have hinted you could have a failing IMS bearing leaking the oil. You should at a minimum remove the oil filter & inspect it for metal. You need a 74mm oil filter wrench & about a half quart of oil to replace what drains out.
