Another IMS question :-(

Hi Forum,

We have now owned out 2,5 986 boxster ( 1999 model) for one year.
At the moment it is parked in the garage for the winter.

And here comes the question: Do I do something about my IMS / RMS?

The car has done 150.000 km and it really still goes strong. There is always a little drop of oil hanging beneath the gear box, but I never see it on the garage floor.

I just changed the oil and it looked clean with no debris / "silver" in it.

However when I start it cold there is some initial nice coming from the engine.
It actually sounds like the starter not disengaging fast enough. as soon as the car has been started , I can start it again and again without the sound occurring.

I have uploaded i Video clip on you tube where the sound can be heard.

Any ideas on what this sound is .
How can I tell in good time that the IMS should be changed.
should I just change it for the peace of mind ( which technical solution is the best?)
Any suggestions / ideas are welcome
