[Lupin..the..3rd]

The PCA tech inspection last month at SportsCar Shop, there was a 996 up on a lift. I asked the shop workers about it, and they said it was in for leaky RMS, leaking AOS, and rusted out mufflers.

Their diagnosis was that these had failed from lack of use, and that driving the car regularly keeps all the various oil seals from drying out, and keeps water from accumulating inside the mufflers and corroding them.

I can't remember if he mentioned anything about the IMS bearing, but either way, it seems clear that these cars should not sit for long periods - they're meant to be driven.
