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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My boxster had the IMS bearing and rear main changed out 20k miles ago and now there is a massive leak that appears to be originating from one of the two. Once this thread is approved, I will provide a link to a video I made of the undercarriage to get the forums opinion of possible causes that may not be the IMS or rear main. Posted two threads this weekend that included links to videos I made of other confusing issues with the car but they were sent to the mod and never made it through... perhaps it was the video link

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

There isn't any leak after driving around town at 20-45 mph for about 15 minutes. Here is the undercarriage after town driving - link Then I jump onto the hwy and set the cruise at 75mph for about 15 minutes and the car starts puking fluid here is the after hwy video link

Hah! Found a way to slide past auto-mod . I have attached a text file with a link to the videos of my 15 minute city drive aftermath and 15 minute hwy drive aftermath.

POST 4Original post

Ouch that's a lot of oil. i hope you find the cause. With that much oil you will never be able to tell where it's coming from. You might need to clean it all off, lift the car and let it run while you look up to see the source.

He would be infinitely better off adding a UV dye to the oil, which will pinpoint exactly where it is coming from.

POST 6Original post

view from the top (intake, oil fill tube) and of the aos?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 656371

is it possible that much oil is originating from the oil air separator? There is an odd sucking noise coming from above.

Went through and verified it isn't the AOS, emailed LN Engineering about the IMS warranty and plan on visiting a local shop.
