Another RMS

I might suspect that an oil cooler hose connection or even the tubing itself may have a leak. If it is, it wil empty the oil from the sump pretty quickly. You maqy wish to investigate befroe you drive the car.

What he said. Not an RMS from the sound of it. The cooling system is the likely curprit. To the shop with you!

Good luck.

Lift the car up and take a look... I have a really tiny leak on one of the oil return bolts and it's a "known issue" that Porsche has a TSB on. Post a picture of where the engine and transmission bolt up.

An old friend of mine, that owned a 944 turbo, said when buying a used Porsche ask the owner "what's it leaking now"... I guess those old 944's leaked like a sieve!
