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.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Guys, I just had my car checked for an upcoming DE event (my first) at Pacific Raceways in 3 weeks. Anyhow, when the car was up on the lift, the technician noted that I have (in his words) "Minor minor RMS seepage - not a leak!" Does that mean that the 'writing is on the wall', and it's only a question of time before I'm due for RMS replacement, or can the seal continue to seep 'minorly' for a lengthy period of time? Cheers Olaf

POST 3Original post

Olaf - I have heard of very few RMS that actually leak. Many of them seep and do not drip oil on the garage floor. A few here have posted that they didn�t change out the RMS until they needed a new clutch and replaced it at that time. I don't recall the model year of your car, so I don't know if you have any warranty left on your car or not. If it is under warranty, get Porsche to replace it. If not, you have a choice to make 1) replace it on your nickel or 2) wait until you need a new clutch and replace it then. The RMS seal itself is only about $70. It is the labor to drop the engine that is costly, $700+ for that, IIRC. The dealer, under warranty, replaced the RMS on my 2004 C2 earlier this year. Maybe others will chime in here and give you their experiences.

POST 4Original post

yep, oil stains where the tranny and engine meets... classic RMS

POST 5Original post

porsche will not chnage a seal for seepage its only a leak if it hits the ground

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

OK, then it sounds like I'm good for now (my car is '02, no warranty left), however there are NO marks on the garage floor so it's not too serious. thanks for the great advice Tim about bundling it with any other repairs in that area when the time comes.

POST 7Original post

You're welcome! Just make sure you keep an eye on the oil level. Remember, I said MOST RMS don't leak. There have been a few exceptions, but even those don't gush out. It is more like a very slow drip.
