Liquid oil in the exhaust.... and other oddities

I wonder how many times I have posted this link. On a Boxster, 911monty is quite right.

Sounds like everyone here agrees?
what'd I miss?

Hey y'all! Great news!
The leakdown numbers are FANTASTIC!
I've got less than 3% loss in ANY cylinder. Honestly, given the consistency and the sealing, I'm still wondering if the P.O. put a new motor in this. I've yet to see any signs of any wear in the motor, and the borescope view doesn't show me anything that looks like mileage accrual on the cylinder walls or piston tops. No carbon build-up, no visible ridge on the cyl. wall. I mean, it's CLEAN!!!


Anyway: this is good news. I now feel confident enough to buy new seals, o-rings, AOS, etc and button her back up.

I'm considering replacing the coil packs, since they're all out, and a couple are cracked. Preferred brand?

I'm ALSO considering a sump / baffle while I'm under there. Preferred manufacturer brand / style?

Anything else I should do? (I already did thermostat & water pump this fall)
