Today I had the pleasure of my 997 dumping all of it's oil, When I pulled up @ the traffic lights there was an odd sound as if a fan belt was flaping around in the engine bay? so I pulled into a side road for inspection on tickover, there was no sign of any loose belts or oil so I switched off sat in & phoned the RAC.
Whilst reading the daily mail waiting for the man in the van, the kids started to kick out of school, as they walked past my shiny 911 they all seemed to be pointing not @ my car but towards the wheels with large grins on there faces saying I had struck oil.
It's a good job I had pulled in as my Mobil One was now lubricating the Road no longer the 3.8. The car has now been recovered to my local Porsche Centre who say they can't look @ this problem "what ever it may be" for a few days possibly next week? I have owned over twenty 911's & never had a serious problem this is the second time my 997 has been recovered the last being the gear linkage which was covered on the very last day of the two year warranty.
Has any other 997 owners had a similar problem?????????????
P.S. The oil seemed to be coming from the centre of the rear Axal & forgive my spelling :?
