A great start to 2013

Happy New Year to all.

I hope things went better for you on the 1st January 2013 than they did for me.

After spending most of the day washing and waxing the car I went for a drive with my wife. During the drive I decided to back track on ourselves so reversed up a random drive way and when I drove off the driveway kerb back onto the road heard a very loud clunk from the rear of the car.

We stopped at the shops a few minutes later and when we returned to the car there was a large puddle of oil under the back of the car. I could see oil dripping from the sump and a closer look revealed a crack in the aluminium.

The kerb on the driveway was not high and I believe one of the rear wheels flicked something up as I drove away.

Waited for a short while for a tow truck to take the car to the Porsche dealership when they open on the 2nd. I'm sure this won't be a cheap fix.

If it's just the sump cover....shouldn't be terrible, its a good time to upgrade to the deeper sump pan if you want
