New owner 2003 Porsche Boxster S need help

Hello,

A few weeks ago I purchased a 2003 Boxtser S and I love it!!! However I am having a couple issues, as expected, and I hoped to find some answers here on the forum.

The first issue to address is a gear oil leak. I have a 6 speed and it appears I am leaking oil where the shift lever enters the transmission. It seems loose and looks as though it will flex when I shift causing oil to leak. Is this a common problem with these cars and do I have to pull the tranny and open the case to repair this??? Ouch if so.

The second issue is a fault code for the secondary air valve (selonoid). This should be an easy repair but help me answer one foolish question. The 2003 boxster has the factory installed rear glass window. How do you put the top in service mode in order to access the engine? Is Porsche foolish enough to add a factory part that would prevent easy acces to the engine or am I the fool?

Please help with these issues if you can. Thanks, Rob
