I bought my '77 911S in March and had the best Porsche mechanic in St. Louis do a pre-purchase inspection. I asked him to especially check for oil leaks because I hate oil leaks. The report came back "only seepage."

I went to St. Louis to pick it up and saw no sign of oil leaks. I drove it to New Orleans and when I got home it was leaking oil and continues to leak oil.

My mechanic says it is the seal between the cam towers and the heads. The mechanic of the Previous Owner did not use the right stuff. The engine has to come out to fix it. Of course "while its out, you might as well do a ring job, maybe a valve job, etc."

Is it really that easy to screw up a cam tower seal?
