I am still in the middle of the repair. If the repair fixes the issue I will follow up with details. Until then I don't want to lead someone in the wrong direction. Needless to say this is going to be expensive.... I hope to have this finalized in the next 1-2 weeks.

What's up? Interested to know how your repairs are going. 

I found some info which related to your symptoms and it all came back to leaks, AOS, vac pcv hose cracked, Y pipe split which is hidden, etc

Ended up being a sticky lifter. Decided, proactively, just to replace all the lifters. Smooth and fantastic running once again.

What was your mileage and was you oil change interval long or was you doing short trips? Previous owners misuse? What oil grade was being used? 

 

Who advocates engine flushing?

58k miles. oil changed every 3-5k. bad luck or just Porsche engineers with a flawed design to pump out production numbers.

Interesting, well thanks for updating the forum on that find. Happy motoring
