Can a Porsche 964 have an oil leak?
Oil seals harden and leak in infrequently used cars: oil leaks may just need new cam-cover gaskets, but the classic 911 story of the cam-cover oil leak that turned into a full engine rebuild applies to 964s, too. Be prepared for broken head studs and a £5000-plus bill if leaks are significant.
