Some of you might remember that I took my GT3 in a couple of weeks ago after noticing a nasty oil leak. Porsche Dubai initially thought it was a double Main Seal leak - front and rear. Both were indeed leaking and were replaced, but it turns out there was more!

The crankcase is leaking and needs to be resealed. They had to wait for approval from Stuttgart to open the engine. Apparently, Porsche service centers are not allowed to pry into a GT3 engine without informing the factory first.

According to them, it does happen.... Why? Not entirely sure

They assure me that the resealing will be done as well as if the factory had done it and that the engine will not be more fragile for it. I tend to trust them, they have a team of German guys trained in Stuttgart who are very good mechanically.

It is odd, though, that nobody here has reported such a problem. Did I get a bad draw at the GT3 engine lottery or do I really drive like a maniac - alghouth I don't think so??!

Has anyone experienced this?

 

doesn't sound too good....what year is the GT3? built date?
