Exxon Valdez was an understatement, Wife parked the car and smoke fumes filled the garage, Blah..... Thanks to the threads, I found the next level of seals was the cause. The seal between the pump and the reservoir had failed..... Sounds Simple Huh!!!:
- 8 hours of access- (Take Pictures of everything) Soft Top, Seat and top engine access, Plenum Tube removal , Serpentine Belt Removal, Steering Pump Removal and some other crap I Didn't list... (see Pics):
- 1/2 hour of tracing the leak
- 2 hours of cleaning- Simple Green / Water / Brush ? Rolls of Paper Towels, Latex gloves,
- 2 days of hunting parts, Seals from Porsche Replace them all Trust Me
- 4 hours of of Re-assembly
The seal that failed.
Plenum Tubes.
Pump with the pulley removed.
Back of the reservior, Special procedures for removing the line with the RED Circle, see the manual, Need to push the whole piece around the tube in where the black ring in back of the red circle. PIA!!
