Apologies for yet another call for help; I’m relatively new to the Cayman (2008 S 86,000 miles) thing and there is so much to take in.
So with all this time on my hands I have been busy, condenser replacement to name one such project. I thought I would go back through the cars mechanical history, partly to get a feel for what might need changing a when.
I came across OPC note from an inspection dated Jan 2018 (75962 miles) - oil weep from timing chain tensioner seal.
Clutch and release plate changed Jan 2014 (41097 miles) - clutch bite point is a bit high but not noticed any slippage.
1. Is the leak synonymous with a failing IMS bearing?
2. Should I change the clutch and look to replace IMS bearing at the same time?
Thanks in advance
