Glad it turned out well for you - as I said only a few folks have had the intermediate plate/gasket leak.

thank you for all your help everyone i brought to dealer they feel just needs a new pan gasket thanks again

I've just got my 996TT back from having the transmission leak fixed. It was just a small weep, but I hate anything like that.

First, as Loren suggested, I changed the oil pan seal, as that was where the fluid was collecting. Then I thought it was from the seals where the fluid pipes go in to the ATF cooler, but these were replaced without improving the situation. After changing them, it was obvious the engine and transmission had to come out, as the leak was higher up. I had hoped that it was from a seal on where an ATF pipe goes in to the top side of the main casing, but it wasn't that either.

It turned out to be the intermediate plate/gasket between the bell housing and the main casing (item 544 on the attached). The problem is that you have to separate the transfer casing to take the box apart, and the gaskets shown in the diagram Loren posted are not available, as he says. Fortunately the gaskets weren't damaged when it came apart, so they were re-used, but applied with Loctite 574 sealant before re-assembly.

The other areas they seem to leak from are the oil seal around the nose of the oil pump (item 70) and the oil seal on the output shaft of the transfer case (see Loren's diagram). Both seals are MB parts, and available from Porsche.

thanks for help

Make sure it is not the pan gasket - that one is easy enough to change.

If it is leaking from the two seals in the pic - then Porsche's answer is to "replace the transmission".

Problem is they don't (or won't) sell those gaskets. Folks have done some further investigation. The Tiptronic is made by Mercedes for Porsche but the Mercedes parts won't work because Porsche's casting is different.

Your best bet (if that is the leaking point) is to find a good transmission shop that can make the gaskets.

thank you, is it a known problem for the leak at the transfere case

I hope it is not these two seals...

is that bad it dripped from the pan i cleaned it off its been 4 days and does not look wet but maybe some small seeping and at the transferecase is the same is it repairable

hi i have a 2004 996tt tiptronic with 2015miles i notice some oil around the trans pan i belive it is atf also some seeping by the transfere case has anyone seen this before any advise would be great thanks

Yes. Just run a wire from the fuse box to switch to relay in engine, or You can tap into the existing wiring below rear seat area. Search here or 6 speed for directions. You'll love it!!!!
