"Porsche has a New RMS for all the 986/987/996 and 997. The part number is 997 101 212 00 and is a copy of the Cayenne seal that I suggested using. I was told by a PCNA official in Atlanta's Technical department that our boards are monitored and utilized for insight on problems and repairs. I have not seen the seal but was told it was designed in regards to my comments on the leaks etc."

New RMS Seal And Test Tool

Well here I go again "new seal" I luckily still have my engine out but just bolted up my clutch and tranny, the last updated seal I think I put in 6 months ago was for a 2002 996 which was newer then the version I originally had for the 3.4. I inspected the new seal going in and I did think that it did not have enough elasticity (mating lip) to offset any crankshaft or case half issues that some have speculated. What are they doing here adding a bandade or do they feel the seal is the problem?
