He ran the already hot engine at 4000 for about 7-10 minutes until the temp gauge was pointing up to the sky and the o/s sill and front wing were hot to the touch and the front/rear fans were on full tilt.

mine's the same.........been told its a minor RMS leak and to see to it if and when the clutch needs replacing.............which it just so happens to need..............it can go days without leaking on the garage floor too
Leading evidence: 'Run already hot engine at 4000' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

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.

For the last 10 days, after putting the car away, I have noticed one/two small drops of oil on the garage floor which have dripped off the roll bar that runs under the bell housing/crankcase joint.
I took the car to a local indy and he thought at first that I might have overfilled the resevoir. He ran the already hot engine at 4000 for about 7-10 minutes until the temp gauge was pointing up to the sky and the o/s sill and front wing were hot to the touch and the front/rear fans were on full tilt. When he let the revs drop, the oil gauge registered just below the top of the upper range after a few moments. He thought that it was not overfilled but not to do it again (!)
He then examined the car and checked the top breather and the area around it in case any oil had been expelled and had run down around the bell housing, but it was all dry. Then he looked at the bottom of the bell housing and it was slighly wet, with fresh oil ready to drip.
Wiped it off and told me to have a new RMS fitted. About £700 plus a new clutch etc. if required.
Drove home (about 20 miles), put the car away. No drips at all since then.
Strange?

It's hard for you 933 boys with the odd drop of oil, it usually pisses out of a 996! :wink:
As you say, wait for the clutch and then sort it out. As I understand it the seal is perishable and so sooner or later it will start to drip (Although every six months would be annoying).

Just worth checking before spending :- Sometimes the small oil filter seal can leak onto undertray and then when tray fills (!!) it drips from the rear onto floor. Mine did this and retightening filter cured it.
