First, I would ask your local Porsche dealer for an inspection by their factory
service representative for a possible goodwill solution.
They may offer a full or partial goodwill gesture (example: 50/50 split), don't look
a gift horse in the mouth. If they can't go for the entire repair, don't pull one
of those "I won't be happy unless you pay for the whole thing" scenes
because they have no interest in paying a large portion of an out-of-warranty
repair unless you assure them that you will be 100% satisfied (whether you are
or not). The offer could be withdrawn if you are not going to be happy with
whatever they are able to do. Trust me, I do this for a living.
If no factory assistance is forthcoming, this is what I would do (I'm NOT kidding!).
If you're talking about that little dark area in the "crotch" of the casting.......
I would blast the area with brake cleaner (and hopefully, the leak is so slow
that the exposed pores in the casting are momentarily dry).........then I would
dab the area liberally with lady's clear nail polish. I have done this on motorcycle
engine cases that had the exact same kind of defect except that hot oil was
coming out. The problem never came back. The nail polish got into the pores
of the casting and if anything, the engine heat seems to cure it.
I can't remember who originally told me about this but IT WORKS and seems
to be permanent.
Good Luck!
