The leak check was within spec though so that was good. I thought about offering a price that made sense due to all the required work to be done but decided against that……too much stuff! The owner is a nice guy but seemed a bit defensive when he said all older Porsches leak oil…………(buddy not that much!)

Interesting experience, a bunch learned and fun too…..
Bummer it ended up not quite being worth the expense and bother.
