997.1 Turbo Engine problem?
 

Hi guys,

Noticed something today under the engine, kind of oily smudge at two places, quite dry to the touch and I didn't notice any oil drips in the garage. :confused:

I will have it checked this week at the local P dealer. I still have porsche approved warranty for a couple of months left... could perhaps get it fixed if necessary or would the dealer put this off as normal oil sweating?


Here are some pictures (997.1 MY2008):

First, there is not such thing as a normal oil leak or sweating on these cars, they should be tight and dry.

Looks more like a cam cover area leak that is dripping down. I would have this looked at before the warranty runs out, resealing the covers on a Turbo is a very time consuming project as absolutely everything is in the way.

Thanks alot, this is very helpful if the dealer tries to feed me the "that's normal" defense.
