it looks like you have been working on this car for 8 mos. perhaps a flatbed to a repair shop would speed the process along.

Well, it's not a huge problem. I have 3 cars, but I drive the Porsche 2-4x per week. I've put 30k on it in the past year, and the little irksome things are starting to pile up...

not squirting, and it's been about 10k like this. It's merely fizzing some aerated dribble. not enough to even lower the MC readings at all.

the brake line maybe held on by a 'banjo bolt' it can have 2 crush washers that are supposed to be used once. they can be leaking or the bolt can be loose. the line where it swagged can be old and leaking. i dont know what year it appeared in but does this car have "hill assist" ? on the dragging brakes : fix leak first then jack up each wheel ...apply brake then release...look /feel for one wheel dragging...if so maybe stuck caliper/stuck pad/ crushed [inside] brake hose...if all 4 wheels drag...back track system.....if just fronts drag...back track..if just rears

it's def. one wheel dragging (front passenger) and it's a 99, no options. I think the seal from the line to the caliper is bad.... any thoughts?
