Boxster S oil leak
 

Hi All
I have a mystery oil leak on my 2000 model Boxster S manual, 171 000 km.
Im sure the oil on my garage floor is from the engine but its location is on the left side (drivers side for US friends) above the rear anti-roll bar (sway bar) mounting point.
The oil seems to be coming from a gearbox mount.
Not sure how that can be but its dripping onto the roll bar holding bracket.
Any ideas?http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1602932366.jpg

Mount went bad, they have fluid in them.

That is a failed transmission mount. Easy to replace. Save money by buying just the dampener and not the whole assembly. Consider replacing both mounts, not just the one you noticed leaking...



Part # should be 986-375-049-02
Rein mounts are good quality and about $85 each.

Fisheagle, like ddruker mentioned these are very easy to replace, please keep in mind that you are Not supposed to disassemble the mount itself (big center nut).
