Oil Change Surprise - Part 2
 

The news: So far, so good. The oil pan is dry and there are no detectable leaks anywhere around the pan. Thankfully, it appears to have been a bad/reused crush ring. With 11k miles on this (new, replaced under warranty) engine I would be having a discussion with Porsche if there were a RMS leak.

Thanks for your input, I'll keep the group posted.

Yes. Always use a new crush ring and the new rubber O-ring that comes with the new oil filter.

That's good news... keep an eye on it, I'd probably check it monthly, as it may take a while for oil to seep from the RMS.
