    Loren, Any chance that you could post a blow up diagram on the O ring Oil Protection Pipe assembly? Is it difficult to replace? I really want to attempt this myself. Lastly, where can I order a good Porsche Repair Manual? Is my Porsche dealer the only option for that? Finally, I just want to say that you run a great board here. By following many of the postings here I was able to install my own Blaupunkt radio with speakers, and wire the factory door subs in series with a modified 996 passenger side (cabriolet) sub powered by an alpine 150 watt amp. The sound is amazing now and the whole shebang cost me less than $600. I had many difficulties wiring this up intially....but everytime I came back to the board I would dig up some new info and proceed. Steve

    It appears that most of the oil is coming out of the spark plug holes in the head. Hmmm....I remember reading something about tubes needing new seals around the plugs on this forum a while back, but I can't find it now :( Also there did appear to be some oil leaking between the head gasket just below the variocam sensor. The engine runs great and the oil is clear, I hardly think a leaking head gasket would show up like this...would it?

    Thanks Loren, Not sure where the oil tubes are, (more of an ex- chevy shadetree mechanic) but I plan on removing the spark plug shield and replacing the plugs today. I got a good deal on iridium plugs, hopefully they won't be a problem. Steve

    Loren, What are the consequences if this code is not corrected? I reset the code with Durametric software about 1000 miles ago and tightened the gas cap. The code did not recur. However, today I noticed that both valve covers are leaking oil. Could this code indicate that the crankcase is not being ventilated well enough (ie. blocked pcv valve) thereby causing the oil leaks? How difficult is it to replace gaskets on the valve covers? My car now has 91,000 miles on it.

    Thanks Loren. Still not sure what that all means, but I'll try tightening the gas cap first :thumbup: :thumbup: I haven't run the car in a while....I wonder if that had anything to do with it? It hasn't thrown another code since I cleared it. Hopefully it will stay cleared.

    anyone know what an error code 95 (evaporative canister under limit) means? I cleared it with my Durametric software...but what does it mean? It sounds like something emission related. Has anyone else thrown this code before? Thanks Steve

    I purchased the Cab Box off of Ebay for my 99C2 (coupe) as I wanted something both factory in appearance and inexpensive. I ran a 200 watt Alpine amp to the box and noted it to be both "buzzy and boomy." My solution was to pull the speaker out of the box and line the inside with several layers of Dynamat. Wow! What a difference that made! I was going to cut the front of the box and add an 8" woofer, but it sounds so good now that I think I'll leave it alone. As for removal, you might have to get some diagrams for Loren, but I can tell you that the factory mounting points are basically two screws. One torq type screw bolts in at the transmission tunnel right next to the firewall. The other screw also mounts in the transmission tunnel, but up front (anteriorly) near the passenger front seat cushion. The forward screw(bolt) will be covered by carpeting. Try feeling along the front edge of the hump made by the sub...there should be a screw attaching it to the transmission tunnel under the adjacent carpet panel. Good luck and don't give up on this little sub entirely. Steve
