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.

You are correct... AOS... It will be my third AOS. I already removed it and ordered another one. I will probably install next weekend. Why can't Porsche improve this part??
Wouldve been my first guess if it wasnt for you having replaces so many times before, i am assuming mine is on its original, and has 106k miles... time to look into some preventive m.
hope you have your box running in no time!
Ok Monday morning QB time
Are there indications you can think back on that may have been due to the AOS failing?
So when the AOS fails, does the car become un-driveable or in this case it was the oil leakage that scared you?
I was going to guess you lost one of your tire's valve stem caps
Operating environment being near sea level doesn't help as atmospheric pressures are greatest there and pout more load on the AOS internals.
I find that extended oil service intervals lead to this more than anything as acids in the oil reach levels that create diaphragm degradation within the AOS.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
