Question . My passenger side rear CV boot was replaced by Porsche last month . When I got it back I parked the car in the garage and the next time I used it I noticed a leak of what I thought was engine oil on the floor . It never leaked before . I cleaned it up and two days later it’s back . I got under the car and saw the leak is coming from where the new cv joint was installed . The fluid is dripping off and landing on a little plastic shield then hitting the floor . I have put a picture in . Would you think Porsche didn’t put this in correctly ? I’ve contacted service and waiting to hear back . It’s only dripping a little but it should be nothing . Is this transmission fluid ? Can I drive the car with it like that ?
Thank you for any input
I’m doing some research I’m wondering if that’s the location of the axle seal ? If that’s it and Porsche replaced the cv boot there is that something they may have damaged ? I’m wondering if I can get Porsche to pay for it seeing as they just had hat all apart down there . If they won’t does anyone have an idea of how much to replace that seal ?
You're ok driving it like that, but it shouldn't leak at all. Your dealer should step up and fix this.
So it was the axle seal . I had my import shop fix it and not the dealer . When I called the service manager at Porsche where I had the Boot replaced and asked him about it he said they wouldn’t have taken that seal out so it wasn’t something they did . When I tried to at least get a quote to compare with my import shop he wouldn’t even quote it . Said he had to look at it first . So I just brought it to my import place and had them do it . It’s so nice to have a good shop you can count on .
