I just read a letter in GT magazine where the writer claims to have creamy yellow gunk inside the oil feed pipe adjacent to the oil filler cap and now I'm quite concerned because I've noticed the same thing on my 996. The editor entitled the letter " Heading for Problems", and suggested that it sounded suspiciously like a head gasket problem. Anybody know what this creamy yellow stuff is? Is it really a problem? What's the head gasket and why would it be the culprit? :( -SB

Thanks for the reply. What do you mean by readjusting? Just lubricating? Apart from squeaks, I also get knocks that seem to come from the front and rear pillars. It seems like something more involved to me. Silver Bullet <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I've had an '03 996 Targa for 4-5 months. About 2 months ago, I started noticing a lot of squeaks coming from the front end of the roof when the top was closed. Those persist, but now there are also knocking sounds coming from the driver A pillar and the passenger rear pillar whenever I drive over small bumps. All these sounds go away when the roof is open (and she drives like a jem). My dealer said they needed to take the whole roof mechanism apart, determine if new parts were needed (possibly taking up to 2 weeks to arrive), and try to rectify the problem. Has anyone had similar problems? If so, what was the issue? Any simple fix ideas? Silver Bullet
