Seems pretty normal.
Question number 2) What could happed if I just drive it until is gets worse?
nothing horrible.

Question number 3) If I refer to the factory Porsche manual this is within normal limits??? However, others with recently rebuilt engines use much less oil. Who do I trust?? A local mechanic has looked at the data and says just drive it!!!
I agree, DRIVE IT and start saving for at least a top end
BTW: Where is ORANGO County?
