Boxster Rear Main Seal Question

[vego]

Remember don't immediately point fingers that oil dripping from the bell housing is a rear main seal.   The 996 and 986 engines have been given bad wrap be cause of rear mains.  Yes they leak and the new revised seal has significantly reduced leaks and comebacks, but I have seen typical bell housing drips and after removing the trans have found the seal dry as a bone.  There is also a chance the intermediate shaft seal could be leaking. I have also seen both RMS and Intermed Shaft seal bone dry and the culprit was leaky case half bolts.  (similar to 911,964,993 engines)
