GT3, 964 case July 8, 2003 build. Here's the deal...No leaks in the past. Changed the oil and stored the car from December till now. Drove the car 25 miles and parked it. Notice an oil spot the size of a quarter today after car has been parked for a week. It appears it is dripping from the center of the sway bar right begind the main support truss. It appears that above the sway bar is where the tranny and motor meet. Any idea's what it could be ? Does the fact that the car did not run for three months contribute to this ? Could it fix itself with driving the car a few times and perhaps the seal will expand and stop the leak. Any idea's would appreciated. I hope this is not the RMS problem. Thanks

 

I know of two other GT-3 owners who have had slight leaks from the crank pully seal. I saw one changed by Silver Star and the other one owned by a friend who has 12,000 miles on his go away by itself. I'm sure you are having the same problem and should be checked out and changed by your dealer under warranty. I have only 3000 on mine and show no signs of a leak. It will not develope into a major leak and my stop by itself.

 

Thanks Retsel. So is a crank pulley seal a better leak than an RMS if you had to choose between leaks ? Is one an easier repair than the other ?

Does the motor case need to be split for repair in either case ?

 

I had an oil leak on my gt3. It was the rear main seal. It took 2 days to be fixed... My car had around 1200 miles when it went... Rich

 

Thanks Rich.

 

Also the engine was pulled due to it being the rear main seal. The car leaked about a quarter size oil on my garage floor is how I noticed it.. Wasn't too big of a deal though.

 

in the old days, we put cardboard under our S's... not an earth rending problem, but chris probably bakes his pizza on the bottom of the engine.......

 

all of the sudden I feel like my car is ready to be used in ways it never has before...
