Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

There is an oil leak just ahead of the rear passenger side wheel on my 996. And of course, the soft top stopped working. Can you tell by my quick description what seems to be the problem? Do I have to replace any part? Should I be able to fix it my self? Tks for your help. __________________ This post was auto-generated based upon a question asked on our tech article page here:

POST 2Original post

Without knowing where the leak is coming form, I cannot tell you what to fix. If you pinpoit the leak and describe the area I could be more help. Try jcking the vehicle and looking for the source of the leak. Look for dripping or a clean oil soaked area. - Nick
