Over the weekend I moved Nicole (02 Boxster S) outside of my garage to give her a good bath and interior detailing. As I walked back in the garage I noticed a dark area on my garage floor and low and behold it turned out to be oil. My heart sunk as I knew this couldn't be good. It was about a quarter sized puddle and the oil was extremely dark (car has 5k miles since last oil change). I continued to wash Nicole and pulled her back in the garage. Sure enough there was an oil spot where I had just finished washing her. I jacked her up and as I feared there was an oil mess right where the transaxle/transmission housing bolts to the engine. UGH!!! To top this off I had noticed a slight oil leak in June and the dealer couldn't find anything. Oh yeah, my warranty expired on August 31st (yes, last week)...
The good news is I called a dealer (had enough of the one who had done work on the car before) and am able to drop it off tonight and use a courtesy vehicle (odd for such short notice). Dependent on the repair I could potentially have it in time for the weekend!
