Talked to the service tech here in my dealership and he said they have finally got a seal that hasnt leaked out oil after being being replaced. Which is good news because its not fun to throw away 1k every year for a new rms seal replacement. Also the new engine in the 05-06 has been redesigned a little bit and should fix the rest of the problems. Hince the wider rear body, but we will find out as the years go on.

Hi,
Sorry, but he's giving you the old
Party Line. First, the engine is still an M96 engine and the same dimension as all the others, no need for wider body panels. And, this area's PCNA Service Rep told me that they are still experiencing the same problems with the '05, '06 and '07s. There are many documented failures of RMS and IMS in the 987's. Fewer to date, but that's most likely because bye-and-large they have, collectively, racked up fewer miles.
The newer seals do work better, but by
better they mean go a little longer before failing. Again, there are numerous failures on the later cars...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
