Boxer engines do have a low volume whine to them that other engines do not have.

My non porsche experienced mechanic thought the transmission was messed up, but I have been driving it like that for 1.5 years. And other Boxsters I have driven sound the same.

Thanks everyone. Good bill of health came back...not great but good. Need to eventually replace the Rear seal (crankshaft) as it is starting to "seep". The porsche dealer wants 1395 bucks. Lifetime limited warranty. I asked what that meant and as long as the car is being driven and not sitting, if it happens again, they will replace at no cost for the life of my ownership. Is that a good price?

They also did an oil change and did not note any metal shavings...
