Hi, Boxterra! IIRC, others have removed the wooden(?) rear trunk flooring to view the shields, right? Weekend project. Thanks for your input. Bababy babamoto - Main Forum
QuoteNuovaZeta My advice, get it checked out. I had a slight rattle in mine for a few weeks that just tonight turned into a big rattle and when I parked the car there was steam coming from one of the side vents and a clear slipery fluid emptying out under the engine :-( NZ, the only steam is coming outta my ears when I think about the rattling. Good luck with your car.by babamoto - Main Forum
Friends, Still enjoying my 2000 Boxster @96K. One thing, though, that kinda bugs me is this rattle I've developed from, I think, the exhaust system. Someone in the neighborhood passed by the house in their Boxster the other day, and he too had this rattle. My indy garage, said it could be the cats, and had a tech pound of them a little while with a rubber mallet. The rattle is still there. I remeby babamoto - Main Forum

Oh, forgot to include that I filled up in L.A. @ 3.65 a gallon on Sunday.by babamoto - Main Forum
Dear Boxster Friends: I'm wondering what you guys are paying for premium fuel in your neck of the woods and if the price trend is up or down. I've found when I've asked this question before, gas prices in Oklahoma City reflect what my price in L.A. will be in two weeks or so. That's why I'm asking. So.... whatchu guys payin'? babamotoby babamoto - Main Forum
Well, after agonizing ovah this fuel leakage/intoxicating cabin fumes, it turned out to be... a leaky fuel filter dripping 91 octane onto the body panels under the car and creating a molotov cocktail situation the protesters in Tahrir Square might be hip to. Apparently, it wasn't changed @ the 60K maintenance. Hit 118 on the northbound 405 on the test run following the filter replacement. Haha. Pby babamoto - Main Forum

OK, Marc, I hear ya. It's dangerous. I'm calling my Indy repair shop. Is this a common thing, or is it a rare blessing? Anyway, thank you for the warning, man. It's much appreciated. The smell is getting stronger and stronger, and it is definitely fuel. babamoto PS Thanks to Laz too.by babamoto - Main Forum
Thanks, Marc. There was the smell of fuel in the cowl area of the front trunk. It worsened considerably during a short drive, and now is reeking up the garage. Nothing obvious, no signs of leakage/moisture of any kind. Question: What is/how do I examine the fuel tank ventilation system? It it under the battery box as well? Engine is running fine, but I'm worried. babamotoby babamoto - Main Forum

Friends: Noticing that my 2ooo 2.7 smells like turpentine or fuel inside the passenger compartment. Pretty strong. Actually smells more like paint that gasoline to me. Ideas? Cautionary tales? Funny stories? All input welcome. babamotoby babamoto - Main Forum
