Just called the dealer and described the leak and they think it is the main seal as well. Car still under warranty so will be taking it in Friday. Thanks for the input.

Yeah, probably the donut. Really weird that it would just start leaking two months after the service (including oil change). Anyway, will try to locate source of leak and post my findings later. Looked more closely at the source of the oil and it appears to be coming from the back of the motor (near the exhaust). Is there a seal in that location for an oil return or supply line? Has anyone else heard of similar issues? Thanks.

Owner of 2004 GT3 with 10k miles. Perfect condition without any mechanical issues. Just completed 2 yr/15k service without issues. The other morning took it up to our local donut shop and returned (approx. 5 miles). Next morning noticed a fair amount of oil under the rear of the engine on the carport floor. Obviously I am concerned as this is the first oil ever on the floor. Any thoughts?

Not the cup wing, just the CF RS wing. Anyway, I just sent an email to TGR attn Austin to see what they can do. Appreciate the info! FYI, Austin has left TRG. Don't know if that's immediate or not. If you don't hear from him relatively quickly, contact Bob Brooks <vbmotorsports@gmail.com> who is now located in FL. I used to do all my business with Bob, and will do so again now that I don't have a local contact. TRG contacted me with a good price on a OEM wing. Ordered it and should be received in about 7 days. Thanks for help

I assume by your comments that you don't want to buy the OE RS wing? Too expensive? If that's not the case, and you will buy the OE piece, see if Austin at TRG can get you one. As I understand it, they're tough to find. Look on Rennlist and 6speedonline for any sellers. Mine is not for sale. :) Forgot to mention my GT3 is an '04. Anyway, the porsche dealer to whom I posed the same question indicated that the OEM would require replacing the rear deck lid, etc. Did not sound right (was not sure he knew what he was talking about). Anyway, it is my understanding that the 997 GT3 RS wing will not fit the 996 GT3 mounts. Thus, is aftermarket the only option? Thanks

Bought my GT3 last year and have been dying to replace stock wing to carbon fiber RS wing. Have not been able to find a product that I feel comfortable purchasing--i.e. quality CF construction so that I can leave it unpainted. Anyone have any suggestions?
