RMS: What to expect when it happens

[cayo71]

Avery,

First of all sorry for not posting this before. I got the issue solved. In my case was an O ring that goes around a plastic tube in the spark plug canal. I was told by the technician that it is a common problem in week end cars since it looses the constant lubrication required and dries out causing leaks.

Again that was in my case and it can be confused with a valve cover gasket problem because the oil runs from the spark plug canal down to the gasket joint.

It was an easy fix. 2 hour labor.

Ricardo.

Avery: I had a similar signature on my '04 996, i.e. oil spots on the left side (driver's side). It turned out to be the oil separator. It was replaced a week ago, and no other oil leaks thus far...
