RMS Question

[Ed Hess]

I've included some names of people for anyone in SE PA. I have some
RMS stuff to ask about. When I took my 2003 2.7 in to be inspected a
couple of weeks ago, Paul at Performance Automotive told me it was starting to
seep a little oil near the RMS. I had taken it to Brandywine and had the RMS
replaced at 44K and then again to Rosen where it was replaced at 47K while it was still under warranty. It now has 49.5K miles and is out of the Porsche warranty period. I took it back to Rosen yesterday and they looked at and
saw the seep but said Porsche does not approve fixing it unless it is
dripping and there is noticeable oil being spashed behind it. Bill
at Rosen told me 99 out of 100 boxsters would have as much seepage as
mine and 911s as well. He said if they fixed it again it might not be
as tight as it is now, but agreed to take another look at it in a couple
of months to see if it has gotten any worse. I'm not too worried about
it as I bought a major mech. warranty from warranty direct that covers
seals, but I am wondering if I should escalate this to 1-800-PORSCHE and
just say this is unacceptable. Any comments or feedback is appreciated.

Thanks.
