Really? So how do you fix an oil leak if it's the head gasket without taking out the engine?

This guy does all sorts of Porsches in southern Poland, though his reputation is doubtful. His uncle, who owned the business a few years back, tried to cheat me into doing some major repairs on my 944 by saying my cylinder block was cracked!

Like JFP said head gaskets don't fail.

I bet this guy was trained by his uncle!
