I think the RMS problem is a legit issue. Made worse because there is no statement coming out of Porsche. There seems to be 4 or 5 generations of "fixes" out so far but the problem seems to be other than the seal. Crankshaft oscillation making most sense to me.

We as enthusiasts, respect engineering. Flaws nagg us.

My '04 doesn't leak. If it did I probably wouldn't like it as much since there is no definitive solution. I haven't heard how well the Cayenne "style" rms is holding up.

My '01 Harley is an old tech marvel. It doesn't leak and likely won't. Cheap to fix and is bulletproof.
