Sorry, but this is not true! If it were as easy as installing a new seal, why does the new seal from the factory quit after little time? And why do we see replcament engines, if it's just the seal???
The main reason these seals leak is the fact that the crank and the case are not concentric on some 996 engines. The typical story is that - under warranty - several seals are installed and they always keep leaking. At some point Porsche bites the bullet and installs a replacement engine. This is the only solution if you really have non concentric crank / case.
