Hi Folks Quick check in for some feedback on car storage. I moved my car to an area that has and incline. I would estimate the the grade would be approx 6" -12" lower front to back Question ? should I store the car "rear end" down hill. or " nose" down hill. My thought "rear" down hill, as less pressure / oil level ,and related contaminates would be on the RMS/IMS seals. This storage is not extended (maybe a few weeks at a time between weekend driving ) but might be long term. 3-6 months until we can garage / level store the car. Any feedback is greatly appreciated - Thank You Mark .

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.

My money is always on attending to the IMS over the oil seals that generally demonstrate great reliability. Keep the IMS as wet as possible. Personally, I would always park rear end uphill. Never downhill! Johan
Hint: Just buy one of those to level out the rear wheels. https://raceramps.com/ Our host sells them and I'd recommend this one so you can get the car level just right. Put a small bubble level on top of the gearbox tunnel to determine when the car is level. https://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/ksearch/PEL_search_2016.cgi?command=DWsearch&description=Race+Ramps+ You'll need to park about 18 to 24 inches closer to the sidewalk to give you room to drive forward and remove the race ramp.
