Will there be a new TSB posted? I'm curious as I've had my share of RMS problems. The latest dealer's service invoice (1/20/05) mentions "replace bolts as per bulletin". One of the threads on this board mentions new blue bolts and I'd like to know when these began to be used, along with anything else that may give me reason to believe the leak problem might be resolved. 2001 2.7 Boxster

The latest RMS TSB is dated 07-24-2004. Superseded means it replaces earlier versions (at least three that I remember). That same TSB also instructs the shop to replace the bolts with self-sealing crankcase bolts. The reason is that some engines were returned to Porsche that did not have RMS problem but leaking engine bolts (near the flywheel).
