| Doh, you're right, sorry about that! It's been very hard to pin down the exact location of the leak as it appears to drip in several places. The leaks are intermittent, which makes it difficult to jus ... |

| I'm guessing it's probably just a combination of age and recent weather change, but my car's begun a steady leak. I regularly keep my eye on the oil level now and it doesn't drop dramatically. However ... |

| Was definitely a 924. My Porsche-dar went off immediately. I just reminded myself, "hey, in Hollywood movies they use either junkyard cars or models." |

| Not awful looking (much better than the Cayenne, IMO), but still a bit odd as a "Porsche." I like curves (a la Cayman) and in some ways I feel this car doesn't differentiate itself enough vi ... |

Amazingly whatever they used defeated Goo-gone; didn't even scratch it. They must have used devil's blood!  |

It's certainly reassuring to here evidence as to why it wouldn't be the critical "engine-killing" belts. The next day, after the sun baked the moisture out of everything around here, I we ... |

| Another thing to note, the squealing only occurred when gas was applied. When the engine was out of gear or idle it was "quiet" (other than its typical noises). I'm wondering if that might a ... |

| It was very humid and I had been experimenting with the AC to see if it worked that day, so I figured there was a pretty good chance something was slipping due to moisture. I'll try checking the alter ... |

| On my way home tonight one of my belts squealed. I immediately stopped the car, popped it out of gear and pushed it off the road and out of the way. Now I'm anxious about the condition of the engine a ... |

I'm going to have diagnostics run on my current setup to make sure it doesn't simply need a recharge. If it turns out that something is broken, then I'll take you up on that offer, BC!  |
