On April 26 2021 performed routine oil change and noticed oil leaking from valve cover gasket onto side of engine. Took to Prestige Imports Inc, in Lakewood Colorado April 30th 2021, mileage is 22,851 and dealer told me: "Inspect for engine oil leak, no leak present although a slight wetness is visible at valve cover, no drips present. No repairs necessary per Porsche warranty guidelines." Dealer advised me to drive car hard and return in few weeks for visual inspection. Returned to dealer on 05/19/2021 and dealer looked at car and told me leak was a SWEAT and would not be repaired under warranty. Car purchased 05/22/2021, out of warranty 05/22/2021.

Per Porsche dealer, "2 broker bolts on the timing cover causing an oil leak." Very, very expensive (thousands of dollars) to repair as vehicle is 50 months old. No recall just yet by Porsche per dealer, though has affected Porsche cars with this engine in significant numbers as is readily noted on online forums and acknowledged by dealer.

The contact owns a 2017 Porsche Macan. While driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle lost power and the "engine control fault" indicator illuminated. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and shut off the engine. Once restarted, the vehicle operated normally. The contact also stated that the failure occurred four other times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (garber automotive rochester, 3955 w henrietta road, rochester, NY 14623) on six occasions, but they were not able to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 14,000.
