Porsche Boxster: Is it possible that I need to replace my engine due to oil leaks?
yinyangcookie asked:
My car sounded funny the other day while I was on the road & 5 mins later the engine would not start. I sent it to the Porsche workshop & they advised me that I had to replace the engine as ‘bad oil’ had leaked into the engine. I’m no expert but I struggle to accept this analysis. After all, the reputation of the engine is one of the reasons I bought one in the first place! My car is a 1999 2.5l, and has 107k km on it. Would appreciate any help from an expert out there!
