Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

What a did do though was compare the original one with the new one to see how much the seals have changed over time.

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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've had a slight weep on the LH bank for aeons but never to the point it drips. Anyway, last week my mate pointed out a small puddle of oil under the car. Had a gander over the weekend and the rear plug tube was leaking. Ordered a new one for £6.90 delivered here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391996248255 Seemed easier than messing about trying to get the o rings. Arrived today so decided to fit it in my lunch break. 40 minute job lead on the works car park with a 5mm Allen key. I'll not waffle about fitting as there's already a write-up or two in here. What a did do though was compare the original one with the new one to see how much the seals have changed over time. Measured the larger orange one and there was 2mm difference in the diameters No wonder it was leaking!!!! Easily noticeable in the snaps:

It works a treat .. far better than the Porsche tool for this job . I told them at work and got kinda laughed at but what ever .. after a few weeks one guy asked to borrow the tool .. followed by the others over the next few monthes .. Hats off there as ive not mentioned this before so its due :thumb:

POST 6Original post

Thats a 1" boat drain plug with added Porsche tax. £4.28 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brass-Ru...-Twist-Drain-Plug-Turn-tite-Plug/372159559784

POST 7Original post

Yes - I agree. I just did a quick search and that was the easiest way. 1" Transom plug does the job.
