OK guys and gals: I've attempted to upload 3 pics - I hope it works. Anyway, there have been some great suggestions so far - I've already obtained a set of owners manuals in their leather case; bought a Bentley Svc Manual (Amazon had the best deal); also picked up some Plexus - made a big diff in the rear plastic window. BTW, this car is an 02 Base Boxster - nicely equipped w/ only 27K miles. PCNA will supply the COA for a mere $95...probably going to spring for it so I'll know exactly what we've got. Not worried about the tool kit - I can put something together. Re the RMS, it seems to only leak at interstate speeds/higher rpms - dipstick showing slightly above full even now - I'm wondering if it may have been overfilled... another ?: how does the crankcase evacuate pressure? is crankcase overpressure a typical problem that may contribute to seal blowby? As always, thanks for your help.
