On my 2000 Boxster, the glass ovals of the headlights are cracked inside the plastic unit that you remove and brown stains are appearing from the moisture getting cooked from the halogen bulbs. Is it possible to replace just the glass or do I have to buy an entire new headlight assembly?

Yes, car on lift (back tires off the ground), start car, engage emergency brake, shift into drive. Will not leak in neutral, only when transmission is circulating fluid in gear. While driving, the hesitation feels like the engine is running roughly but it is the transmission slipping because of the leak and low fluid level (according to the mechanic). Makes sense to me, but sounds like you're not buying it?

Yes, that's why I titled it "mystery!" There are no fault codes. Thank you, Tex Many thanks for all the suggestions, here's the latest update: Mechanic now says that the seal between the torque converter and transmission is bad, that's why it leaked when topped off. When fluid level drops below the level of the seal car runs rough but leak goes away. Question is now, do I replace just the seal or has the tranny been damaged and needs replacing as well? Hate to pay for labor twice, your suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated. - rPm

2000 Boxster Tiptronic (120,000 miles) wouldn't start, mechanic said the oil seperator was cracked and needed replacing. OK. CEL fault codes were saying it was the oxygen sensors but they were recently replaced, along with the Mass Airflow Sensor. Car still wouldn't start, so mechanic decided the crankshaft speed sensor needed replacing. OK. This appears to have fixed the starting problem but the car now ran rough, so the mechanic replace the plugs, coils, sleeves, etc. This accomplished nothing, car still runs rough and the mechanic decided it has something to do with the transmission so he checked the fluid level (slightly low) and he topped it off. Now the car is leaking transmission fluid and still running roughly. Mechanic doesn't know where to go next without fault codes to guide him, anyone got an idea what's going on? Please reply soon, I'm almost out of money. Thanks in advance - rPm
