OK, it's the worst case scenario!!

Took it to OPC Liverpool, and they immediately diagnosed RMS failure, which is what I thought. Fortunately, the car is still under warranty, and this failure is covered.

They can't take the car in until 3rd May (!) and when I do they need it for 2 full days, which I guess is probably normal. However, he said that the leak was small, and therefore it is OK to drive until they take it in. I'm a bit concerned - is there any chance I could do further damage?

I've heard a few stories about RMS failure, and it being a weak point on the 986 and the 996. I'm now worried, because I've only had the car since December, and I've already been affected. The car is a 2002 Boxster S by the way. Is there an upgrade to the seal that the OPC will fit, or is this failure likely to happen again in the future?

Thanks for your help.

Paul
