RMS leaks start as small leaks and get bigger from what I've read, then lead to failure with a blowout of oil. So if you do get one, you should be able to catch it before it does any engine damage.

Just keep an eye on your garage floor. If you see no drips, no worries my friend. When and if you do see drips, get it checked out... it might just be a cam cover like my boxster and it's no big deal and most would say it's not worth fixing.

Do not let a potential RMS failure freak you out. Enjoy your car and cross the bridges that you actually approach, not the ones you may never see while owning the car.


Ever since I adopted this attitude about my much older, much more beat up and abused Boxster, life has been a lot more fun and less stressful!
