    Thank you for directing me to the DIY forum for the tranmission fluid change. I'm not sure if I have done serious damage to my engine. When I initially over-filled the oil, the engine blew excessive smoke. I drove the car home, which is about 2 miles away. With your help I was able to drain the oil & replenish it to normal level. The car still blows excessive smoke, but only when I press on the accelerator...& there seems to be more smoke coming from the right exhaust. Will the smoke eventually blow off, or have I done serious damage to the engine? Is it possible that I may have fouled the spark plugs? Please advise. Thanks Loren!

    Tiptronic. I purchased a suction gun to replenish the transmission fluid as someone advised me that I need the tool for this project. Now I need to find where the transmission fluid is located & how I use this tool? Also, the local auto parts stores do not carry Porsche transmission fluid, so I have to wait to go to the dealer tomorrow. I'm thinking of re-using the transmission fluid that I had drained. Would this be ok? Thanks!

    Thanks so much Loren, I found the drain plug! I'm draining the oil now, but now I need to replenish the fluid I accidentally drained earlier. I drained it from the rear center, the pan in between the wheels. Was this the transmission fluid? How do I now replace it? Thanks again!

    Hi Loren. Just wanted to clarify that I drained some kind of fluid from the center of the car. It was greyish/yellow in color. It looked like oil, but when I started the engine the oil level was still high. So, I'm assuming I drained the wrong fluid. I drained this fluid towards the rear, center of the car. It was an allen wrench screw. When I started the car, the engine started, but when I put it in gear, the car didn't move. Did I drain transmission fluid? I thought I drained the transmission fluid, but when I called the dealership they said that the transmission fluid color will turn from pink to looking more like oil. So, I'm not sure if I drained the oil or transmission fluid?? If so, I need to replenish this too.

    I tried to do my own oil change & did the same thing. Then I tried to drain the oil, but I think I drained the transmission fluid instead. Would someone please tell me where I can find the drain plug & how I refill the transmission fluid? THANKS!
