Wow, a MY99 with only 19,000 miles (sounds like my car :lol: )

Yes, from the images it does look like the RMS area leak. Could be either RMS or intermediate shaft leak or both.

Here in California I have heard quotes as low as $800 and as high $1300. So your quote might be just a little high based on that. Porsche dealers that do the work here also give a 1 year or 2 year warranty on the new seal(s)/work performed. Are you getting a warranty?

Hi Loren,

Thank you for responding so fast. I did not inquire about a warranty. Is this a standard practice? I have read that many people have had to get this replaced more than once. It would be great if there was some kind of warranty. So far, some other people have pointed out that the price they quoted me seems too high as well. I appreciate the feedback.

Vince.
