Dripping from tranny drain plug
Requesting some help from the forum gurus... I followed the DIY instructions from Pelican to change the transmission fluid in my 2008 Boxster 5 Speed. This was about two years ago. Ever since I've had dampness around the transmission drain plug and an intermittent drip on the garage floor. I've tightened the plug to the point where I'm afraid to go any further, going slightly above torque spec. I recently took it to my local German service shop and asked them to look at it. They reported back that there is moisture around the drain plug but it is "tight." Is there anything I can do or am I destined to live with the periodic drip?

Why not pull the plug and collect the fluid. wrap some Teflon tape ( or a higher temp equivalent) around the plug and reinstall. There's no pressure to be concerned with, just temperature.
Bet it'll work! |
Does it have a washer? Replace if so. New copper washer.
Did you over fill? 5 speed is supposed to be 11mm low of the hole or something like that? |

Replace the plug? The threads might be a little worn.
It can't be more than 20 or 30 $$'s. Strike that, I lost my focus for a second.....:D |
