Had it in for a check at the shop that did the work, they said it was the RMS.

I cleaned the area from underneath, placed a cup directly underneath, and no further dripping, although the area around the bolt had become a bit greasy and I could get oil on my finger.
Leading evidence: 'rms' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'rms' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean area' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

My 02 Carrera has a small leak dripping from the bolt indicated by the green arrow (do not get confused by the read cross and circle, used photo from web).

I hope it is not the RMS again, that was changed with IMS and clutch six months ago.

Again sorry for using your thread but the picture is perfect.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

They warranted the work and fixed it for free, phew.
Hi
I have searched around for a while but I'm unable to find similar post. My 02 Carrera has a small leak dripping from the bolt indicated by the green arrow (do not get confused by the read cross and circle, used photo from web).
Had my car standing in a steep hill facing down for a couple of days, just outside my garage. When I got it on the flat surface of my garage, it leaked a few drops of oil. The oil level is at max.
I cleaned the area from underneath, placed a cup directly underneath, and no further dripping, although the area around the bolt had become a bit greasy and I could get oil on my finger. So no high level of oil loss. I have not noticed more dripping.
Anybody that has experienced this or know what that bolt is for?

I love my Porsche centre, this is actually the second time they warrant this particular work. Had the car in for a clutch, IMS and RMS change. The IMS was fine and RMS leaked, they assembled it poorly so the clutch squeaked like a rusty barn door. Warranted the work and they fixed it for free, and now again, warranted the work on the RMS. Great. Three times the gear box has been out the last six months.
Sorry this has nothing to do with Arne Klinge's issue but does anyone have the P/N to the water tube that the green arrow is pointing (99-3.4)? Again sorry for using your thread but the picture is perfect. I hope you find the leak.
