Leaky RMS on my newly aquired '02

Don't worry about it until you need a new clutch. Then have a new RMS installed.

P.S. like the others said, if your tech didn't separate the trans from the engine how does he know the clutch and flywheel are in "great shape."

That's what I'm leaning towards. The mechanic said it's nothing to worry about but to keep an eye on it. He did mention that he would need to drop the transmission to know for sure (condition of clutch and flywheel). I think he was just trying to give his impression and some peace of mind.

I'll keep an eye on my oil levels and garage floor. That low quote is tempting though.

Oh I see. Yeah, most RMS seep on boxsters. I noticed mine seeps too, nothing to be alarmed about. Just have them change it during clutch time. If you get a few drips just lay something down. Alot of guys on here get nervous when their Porsche leaks oil. The old ones do it, the new ones do it to. It comes with ownership of the P-brand Mine started leaking then stopped. Go figure?

Great advice. Thanks. Seeping is a better way to describe what I've seen at the seal. No actual drips and no need to add oil over the past month (prior to changing oil). I'll put the money towards a Stebro . Thanks again!

No problem. Stebro, is a good choice. Are you thinking sport exhaust or race? I like the idea and sound of the race system, but it may be too much!? I'll probably go with their sport system.

I'm going with the sport. The race may have too much drone for me. I may end up with a Zeintec top so I'd prefer not to wear earplugs

I've tryied to get the PSE mod done but I'm having a tough time finding a shop to do it.

Yeah, have heard the race has too much drone, but the sound is sweet under accel! lol.. The sport system has a nice tone and it's still more aggressive than many systems out there. The race system is exactly for that, guys that race their boxsters on a regular basis or take very short trips in them.
