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.

Sometimes there's a faint oil smell(very faint) after a hard run (for me almost every run), is this normal?, I think it could just be hot p-zero fumes.

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.

10 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 found this bill in the service records for my recently purchased 996. It sounds like the RMS repair.I know the transmission was removed. Just a seal leak? Sometimes there's a faint oil smell(very faint) after a hard run (for me almost every run), is this normal?, I think it could just be hot p-zero fumes.

POST 2Original post

I would guess that's a warranty RMS replacement.

POST 3Original post

Yes, looks like an RMS and IMS seal. They also checked and/or re-timed the engine. 99610421554 - checked engine timing, these are cam plugs. 99970755440 - they removed the scavenge pumps and replaced the orings, necessary when retiming

POST 4Original post

faint oil smell after running hard is a PORSCHE - you should smell that everyday (its actually more likely to be cosmoline than oil)

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thats a relief. Cosmoline? is that cos I drive too hard?

POST 6Original post

not if you only smell it "once in a while" you drive a little harder more frequently you can smell that wonderful smell more... most guys that have been around these cars for a while really love that smell and its a sign of driving it "proper" a good thing

POST 7Original post

Other great smells from the car are tires, clutch, and brakes.

POST 8Original post

I was scared to death when I kept smelling that strange burning smell every time I got out of the car when I first bought it. After reading here and seeing that burnt gunk all under the car I feel much better Smells like Porsche to me.

POST 9Original post

Cosmoline? From a Porsche? I'm used to smelling cosmo elsewhere. Seriously though, where does one encounter cosmoline on a Porsche?
