Front/timing chain cover oil leaks. This used to be a 10k expense and was a problem on many macans, Porsche released a TSB that tells you how to fix the leaks with the engine in place, and just replacing the top aluminum bolts that shear. Our 2018 GTS is due for that one, the local dealer wanted to pull the motor the last time they saw the car, I suggested they read the TSB.

2nd this. Not sure if it’s still a problem, but my wife’s ‘14 Cayenne went through, I think, 4 transfer cases in about 110k if I recall. Thankfully, all covered by Porsche. We’ve since sold it, but it was a phenomenal vehicle other than that issue. I know you are asking about Macan, but I think they had the same issues with TC. The only good news is that the problem would not strand you - you would just feel a “bucking” when accelerating.
