porsche986spyder, wouldn't the repair be covered under a warranty from the dealership? I hope so.

Who did the repair on the RMS? Are you SURE it was done? I can picture some unethical mechanic wiping down the area, rubbing the seal with a grease & taking your grand. Works great for oh, say, 1000 miles or so...

Probably installation error. I hear you have to be super duper careful and delicate with the new seal. You probably had a fat fingered mechanic who forced it in or didnt seat the final rib.

Well, I wanted to save a few hundred dollars and not use the steelership. So after I ordered all the parts needed along with a new clutch from Suncoast, I had my regular shop, Stuttgart that does all my work change it out. They did it for $860.00 instead of $1200.00 from the dealership. I'm thinking I should have gone to the dealership now. I'm bringing it back to Stuttgart here in Dallas on Friday. They said they would look at it for me. I'm not sure if it's the same problem or not, I can't really see up under the car to see where it is coming from. It just appears that way from what I can see on the ground. It's also due for it's oil change. I'm not sure why they did not change that when they did the RMS replacement. Instead they just topped off the oil after having to drain some of it. They should have done a complete oil filter change. Makes me wonder if the oil filter is just so dirty that it is clogging up and seeping out someplace else, like a drip from the new seals.

Good News!!!!

I just got my car back and it was not the RMS again. It was only the oil filter that had come lose. It was due for its oil change anyway so it was an easy fix. Note to self, NEVER take car to Pep-Boys to have the oil changed. I'm glad I found a local German car Porsche mechanic here in Dallas. Oil change at STUTTGART is only $99.00! Plus I had a coupon because I'm on their mailing list and got $25 off on top of that! Great mechanic and service. If anyone lives in the Dallas area, I would highly recommend them.
