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.

New to the forum. Just picked up '03 C4S, 6MT, 68k miles, on Sunday. Love the car.
The PPI by a 30 year Porsche tech said the car was in perfect shape mechanically. RMS, IMS, clutch, flywheel, all changed w/in last 8k miles. Recent oil change showed perfectly clean oil/filter/grommet.
Put some cardboard boxes underneath to see if there's any leakage, and noticed a spot. I don't mind leaks - just curios what it could be.
Smelled the leak, couldn't tell - looks wet, so could be coolant. It's clear, though a bit dirty from seeping down through sludge mostly. Spot on cardboard is from 24 hours of sitting, and is about the size of the "O" when doing the "OKAY" sign.
I spent hours looking through the threads to no avail. Half the images have also disappeared. So, thought I'd ask for help.
Anyone know where I could start exploring, or have seen this before? Thanks! - John
For visual reference of location.
This is the red circle above in the previous image
About the size of the "OKAY" sign. 2 inches diameter.
It definitely doesn't smell like oil. Almost like brake, trans, or power steering fluid. Gonna head downstairs in an hour and give it another good whiff. Will report back.
Seriously! I'm gonna call him out on it. He was so confident.
It appears the leak is coming from what I imagine is the clutch or gear shift assembly. It's definitely NOT oil, and is clear and pretty odorless. In fact, it aligns with my previous note about brake fluid. So yeah, likely clutch fluid.
Any idea what the scope could be?
