Just picked my first Porsche, I can't stop looking at it or listening to it.... I love it! Great site as well. I do have one question though. In the second picture, I noticed a drop of oil on the bracket with the arrow pointing to it. Can any one tell me what that is and if its a DIY type of job to complete. Any help would be greatful. Thanks! 99' C2 Midnight Blue

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.

Congrats! welcome to Rennlist!
Welcome to the funny farm! Enjoy the new toy! ...poor Tim, another newbie posting pics and another missed opportunity.
Car looks great, not sure about that oil line, but shouldn't cost much to get it replaced if necessary. But hey, what is up with that "Organ Donor" license plate on a Porsche?
Welcome ! Enjoy your Porsche and don't worry for the leak... there is almost always one on a 911
Congrats. Its beautiful.
Congrats on the new car and welcome to the world of Porsche. I was the same way last June when I bought mine.
Congrats on the 996. Is your concern that it's two different type of fittings? Does the line seem to be loose in the bracket? Sorry, it's just not clear what you're concerned about.
yes, welcome to your new life (you won't be needing the old one any more!) Wipe the area with the oil and see if shows uo again, might not be a leak at all but just a careless drip from a detailer doing something? GL Ed

Tim, Did you cut this one some slack because of the car color? Not that you would be biased or anything -td

I'm still waiting for Tim's old car to show up here - you know it will happen.
welcome to the family - enjoy the addiction
Congrats from a fellow Arizonan. Is the color actually called "midnight blue," or is it "ocean blue." I had a boxster that was OB, great color. Sorry, I can't help on the leak...never seen or hear of a leak from there. Scott.

TD, nah, I didn't even have the chance to cut him some slack, since that was his first post on Rennlist. However, the color of his car would have made me, shall we say, more tolerant than usual. Now, if this car was silver, that would be another story!!!

I don't want it to show up here, because it will make me cry when I find out how much (translation how little) the new owner paid for it.

Good point... not something that you want to learn. Congrats on hitting 9K posts!
Nice car, great color...they all drip a little, don't sweat it. Welcome to a great forum.
Congrats!! More pics and info, pleeease!!
Quotes source post: 5747775
Yeah, only 1,000 more to go. I have 3 times the number od posts than Phil has miles on his C4S.
Quotes source post: 5749744
muahahahaha!! Even I have more posts than he has miles on his car.... come to think of it, so does Tippy. So, do you think you can do 1000 posts in 1 month?
I think 1k posts/mo would be considered "Going Postal"

Good one!

Congratulations, Blue. Welcome to Rennlist. Enjoy. Bob
Beautiful car! I know the feeling of owning one for the first time ... almost like a dream. Not sure what you're asking about the hose and connection??? Doesn't look like a leak.
Quotes source post: 5749824
More posts than miles? Now, THAT hurts.
Thanks, for all the replies. I'll post some more pic's as soon as I can.
Welcome - nice car. Smart to post pictures with your welcoming post!
