MY2002 Turbo with Tiptronic.

I suggest you find a good Porsche shop that can confirm where the leak is coming from before spending nay money.

Have you contacted in transmission rebuilding shops in your area?

They might have parts.

The transmission will need to come out for the fix and be partially disassembled - it might end up less expensive to but a Porsche rebuilt transmission.

There is no oil in the Tiptronic transmission only ATF (red and lighter than motor oil).

So, if you have oil on the floor it is not from the transmission.

I understand the FWD unit has gear oil and the cardon shaft ( I think) but I still don't see where his leak is coming from - which is my point.

I really think he needs to find a shop that put his car on a lift and find the source of the leak.

You are correct, there are probably problems with Porsche technical support in East Europe.

May I suggest that, unless it ramps up or other problems start to show up, you simply drive unworried? Just keep monitoring for worsening conditions and check ATF level. That's what I would do....

I had the same small leak, took the car to my indy and he said I need to go to the dealership. Dealership in Walnut Creek, CA said only solution is to replace with new Tiptronic - $16,000.

Checked here; "the other forum" and ended up buying a rebuilt from Vertex. Shipped from FL it was around $3,500 and paid my indy another $3,000 to remove and replace.
