To bad you are not in Florida, anyway. I have a 2000 S and I am going through the brakes at this moment. I am replacing the brakes and found Balo rotors and they are German made and very reasonable(any comments on themz0. From some other posts, guys have had no problems with them. Now my question is, when I return from a ride, I smell what is either hot brake pads and maybe oil residue coming from my passenger side intake vent. This car was a one owner, super nice car with 64,000 miles when I bought. Runs, very strong and basically I can find no problems other than the rotors where badly worn and needed to be replaced. I am removing the calipers and giving them a thorough cleaning and check. This weekend I will finish the back brakes and I was planning on pulling the rear underneath engine cover for a better inspection to see if their is any oil that maybe the culprit of the odor. What should I look for...anything in particular or not ordinary like a valve cover or spark plug tube or even a RMS. I grew up in a auto machine shop my dad owned and have built many a muscle car and rods from nothing. And I have owned a lot of sports cars. This Porsche is my first and it truly is a great piece of engineering and fun to drive. My wife love's too.
