Lapkritis is correct, there is a known weak/thin spot in the casting on some cases. There is a Tech Bullitin from Porsche on this problem. Here is a link to a person who was having your exact problem, has the pertinent info for you(also has some links to other threads). I would hate to see you reinstall with
new seals and still have the problem. Good luck!
