Oil leaks

[brendel]

Hi everyone,

I have a C4S tiptro that covered 80Kmiles

My porsche dealer keeps on telling me that the car has no leakage but when I look under it I notice a couple of oil spots, they are only sweating spots, but I guess it is not going to improve with time

1) the first visible one is at the oil pan, i guess this is easy to fix

2) second is the junction between the engine and the gearbox, the IMS sealing ring was recently changed but I still see a sweat of oil

3) The front of the tiptronic is all wet

4) The Oil Separator (AOS) is covered with oil

Is this all normal? I read many comments on the net saying that Porsche oil loose oil, I would like to know if i am a maniac or I should push my dealer to fix those leakages

Thanks

In case of a wide diversity of oil spots over the power train it is advisable to have cleaned everything thoroughly, drive the car for a few days and let him inspect. This makes it easier to detect the leak(s).

Had same oil leaks on mine. Main culprit for most things covered in oil was the drive shaft seals as these will spray out oil in wider locations. As the last post mentioned best to get up on ramp and clean underneath with brake cleaner, degreaser etc and then check again in a few days time. If your drive shaft seals are leaking check soon as you dont want your transmission to run low on oil.

Mine was leaking at sump oil plug and also oil pressure plug location as well. Had issue with coolant drain plug as well, think it was all caused by salt and corrosion from off the road. New washers fixed this fine, easy job as well, RMS still has slight weep but not major enough to change just yet and doesnt drip on the floor.
