Rear main seal, AOS or water pump?

Three guesses??

I would hate to replace the Rear Main Seal five times... But no.

AOS... Yes

Water Pump I replaced three times on Jӓgermobile1.

Living near sea level is rough on the AOS. I wish there was a better after market AOS available, at a reasonable price. The Heavy Duty AOS Porsche makes is crazy expensive.

Sorry for taking three guesses, but didn't the original Jӓgermobile have over 300,000 miles?

Yes it did... Over 304,000 miles.

What I have not seen before is the P0507 error code (idle control). The RPM's are a little high at idle (1100 RPM), understandably with vacuum leak. But no smoke on start-ups or while going down the road. Definitely an AOS failure, it sounds like, and feels like, a shop vac at the oil fill tube with the cap removed.

I received the AOS from Pelican Parts today, amazingly quick delivery. I replaced the AOS in about 1 1/2 hours... I'm getting pretty good at replacing those things.

Maybe you can add to your 300K and drive on up to The Great White North when my AOS needs replacing. It is fine now but I'm sure it will start to go eventually and it is not a job I'm looking forward to.

Do you plan on replacing it yourself? If so send me a personal message with your phone number when you are ready to do it and I can provide some guidance and advise.

So out of curiosity I had a look at the AOS for your car. It appears the accordion hose and pinch connections have been eliminated and are now slip-on rubber hose and clamps?

Nope, it has the accordion hose and spring clamps. I use a clamp tool similar to this:
