Great news!! !e Santa Barbara region won the 2012 Zone 8

Region of the Year Award, announced at the Zone 8 banquet and recognition party held on January 19th. Our Region put on the most events of all the Zone 8 Regions which included 40 one-day events and three multi-day weekend tours. Our Community Service/Charity involvement in 2012

was exemplary with our support of the Special Olympics, two toy drives in December, and for hosting the Tire Rack Street Survival School for teens in October. I want to thank our 2012 O"cers and Directors as well as our participating volunteers and members for all their e#orts and contributions that allowed us to hold so many successful events. Congratulations also to SBR members who won the following Zone 8 awards: Concours: Street Class 2 - Dick Douglass; Autocross: 1st Place: Michael Furnish; 3rd Place: Doug Brekke.

I expect many of you are ready for another exciting drive this month, so on February 16th, Steve Kaller has organized a picturesque 70-mile drive to the Palms Restaurant in Carpinteria where we’ll enjoy a full-course meal and grill our own entrées. Also on Saturday, February 23rd, you are invited to a complimentary Service Clinic at the all new Rusnak/Westlake Porsche dealership. Service Manager, Sam Abergel, will once

The President’s ColumnDoreen Pankow

From The Editor’s DeskMike Pomerantz

again be our host for this day of free Porsche inspections. !is Service Clinic will be held from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. for PCA SBR and Central Coast members.

I want to thank you for all your contributions to our 2012 charity, the Special Olympics. We held a ra$e at our Membership Brunch in June and staged another ra$e and silent auction at our Holiday Brunch in December. A total of $2,550 was collected, which will be split between the Ventura and Santa Barbara chapters of the Special Olympics. Checks will be distributed to both chapters at our February breakfast meetings.

I am delighted to announce that we have just %lled the Porsche Mademoiselle Society (P.M.S.) Chair position on the board. Nola Force, who lives in the Santa Barbara area, agreed to %ll this vacancy while we were on the trip to Scottsdale. Besides being a pilot, she now serves as a business consultant, paralegal and coach for her own consulting practice called Creative Solutions. So ladies, we can again look forward to more fun outings together.

Please note the 2013 by-laws have been %nalized and are posted on our SBR website at www.pcasb.org. If you haven’t been to our website, it’s well worth taking the time to explore it. All our event &iers are posted on the website, so you can print them out and mail them to the appropriate host for any upcoming event. !e site also contains links to PCA National and PCA Zone 8 websites. You can even order a name badge or see current and back issues of SBR’s Der Auspu# magazine back to 2006. Additionally, concours, autocross and rally results are available from 2009 to the present. We are fortunate to have such a talented Webmaster, Randy Fishwick, who maintains and updates our website on his own time.

Lastly, don’t forget your sweetheart on Valentine’s Day!

I just love the Porsche Club slogan “It’s not just the cars, it’s the people.” Every time

I hear it or see it, I just love it! It really does describe what this club is all about. !erefore, I would like to have a place where we can highlight the members and their cars. It’s very true that there are so many awesome

people in this club, but it’s the passion for the cars that originally brought us together. Well, that’s true for most of us, with a couple of exceptions, but I’m not mentioning any names here.

One of the new things I’m planning for upcoming issues is a monthly section for a “Member Photo Gallery.” !is will be the place in the magazine to highlight various members with their cars. A'er all, since this is a car club, it would be nice to have

more content featuring the members and their cars (Porsches only, of course).

My idea would be to include three or four photos on a page submitted from di#erent members. Members would submit high resolution digital photos with captions about their cars. Captions should include the usual year and model speci%cations, and list any highlights, modi%cations, or other noteworthy comments about the car(s) in the photo. Photos can be taken either with or without the members in the photo.

It will be a place every month where we’ll have a chance to see each other’s pride and joy Porsche in print. It will be a nice way for the membership to learn more about each other’s cars, and to highlight both the cars and the people.

Please submit your photos and captions to the Der Auspu# editor email address on page 3. Please keep captions to 25 words or less. So when you are cruising around on all of the great events coming up, keep an eye out for that awesome picture of your prized Porsche to submit to Der Auspu#. It’s not just the cars, it’s the people!

Camarillo Breakfast

A spectacular morning greeted our happy group as we assembled at the Way-Point Café for the !rst meeting of 2013. Newly elected President Doreen Pankow welcomed

everyone, o"cially kicking o# her leadership position with the club.

Two outgoing board members, who had not been present at the Holiday Brunch last month, were called up to be honored and awarded for their past e#orts. Advertising Manager Don Kuckenbacker and Editor John Alfenito were thanked by President Pankow, and were each given an engraved token of the club’s appreciation for their years of service.

Membership Chair Sue Kinsling gave us the attendance !gures for the day: 115 members and guests, driving 64 Porsches. She also introduced new member Je# Maxon from Ojai. Je# has a brand new 2013 Carrera S.

Activities Chair Barry Weinstein reminded everyone of the many activities on this year’s schedule. Barry urged those wanting to take part in both the February 16, 2013 Palms Restaurant Dinner Drive and the March 16, 2013 Fillmore Murder Mystery Train Excursion to get their reservations in right away. Both events are expected to sell out soon.

Barry also introduced Rusnak Porsche Westlake Service Manager Sam Abergel. Once again, Sam has arranged for Rusnak to host a complimentary Porsche Service Clinic, this one to be held Saturday, February 23, 2013 at the dealership. It’s a chance to have your Porsche examined by a trained technician at no charge. Plus, there will be free refreshments and guaranteed discounts on any recommended service or repair performed within 30 days of the event. $e Central Coast Region has also been invited to this clinic, so please call the dealership for an advance, no cost appointment for your car. Call Tanya at (805) 496-6500, Ext. 5997 to grab your spot.

Please introduce yourself to new SBR member Je! Maxon of Ojai. Maybe he’ll give you a ride in his 2013 Carrera S.

Before closing the meeting, President Pankow mentioned that the chairmanship of the Porsche Mademoiselle Society (P.M.S.) is now vacant. Anyone wishing to step up and !ll this position should contact any board member. Also, Doreen gave an acknowledgement to our morning’s “gate keepers” Dick Lange and Howard Rubenstein. If you’d be willing to “man the gate” at an upcoming Camarillo Breakfast, please let Doreen know.

Despite the slightly chilly temperatures, it was a wonderful gathering of our membership to start the new year with a smile. =

Santa Barbara Breakfast

STORY BY JIM BROWN , PHOTOS BY RON WILLIAMS

Non-Travelers HaveFun On The Wharf

January 12, 2013

The sun was out, but even the chilly morning and a sti! breeze didn’t stop everyone from “talking cars” on the pier in front of Moby Dick’s restaurant. Since many of the SBR

regulars were attending “"e Best of "e Southwest: Scottsdale & Sedona, Arizona” weekend getaway, there was a smaller than usual, but very enthusiastic group at the Santa Barbara Breakfast meeting.

Former treasurer Jim Brown chaired the meeting in the absence of the “traveling” board members. Jim promoted several of the upcoming events on the SBR calendar; #rst was the Scenic Dinner Drive to the Palms Restaurant in Carpinteria on Saturday, February 16th, second the Service Clinic at Rusnak/Westlake Porsche on Saturday, February 23rd, and third the Fillmore Murder Mystery Train Tour/Luncheon on Saturday, March 16th. Jim advised that if you are interested in attending these activities, get your reservations in today as they will likely sell out. Several $iers were passed out at the meeting.

Barbara Hill, #lling in for Membership Chair Sue Kinsling, told us there were 33 attendees and 22 Porsches on the pier. Barbara welcomed new member Ron Justin to the breakfast. Ron drives a Porsche Cayman. Also attending the breakfast was returning member, Michael Doyle, who owns two Porsche 356s.

It was another successful Santa Barbara Breakfast, made more enjoyable with good friends and camaraderie. =

Come join us for a fun-!lled trip to Morro Bay and the Central Coast over the 2013 Memorial Day weekend.

Morro Bay’s most distinctive and recognizable landmark is Morro Rock, also sometimes called the “Gibraltar of the Paci!c.” It is the last of a line of long-extinct volcanoes formed about 23 million years ago, which include nine peaks ranging from San Luis Obispo to Morro Bay. These peaks are aptly named the Nine Sisters because they are all in

Morro Bay Golf Course adjacent to the hotel. Discover a coastline of dunes, paddle down a silent estuary to spy on beautiful and rare birds, or sail into the wild Paci!c just beyond the breakwater. Morro Bay is also a great home base for visiting the rest of San Luis Obispo County. The world famous Hearst Castle is just a short drive north of Morro Bay, past the charming towns of Harmony and Cambria. To the east, you will !nd local wineries o"ering tastings of the famous Central Coast varietals.

We’ll depart Friday May 24th from Santa Barbara and travel North on US-101 to enjoy the beautiful views of the coastline before turning inland. At San Luis Obispo, we’ll head northwest on the CA-1 to our !rst stop at the Morro Bay Rock to stretch our legs. Then take a short drive to enjoy lunch at the Embarcadero Grill while overlooking the bay. Following lunch, we’ll take a scenic back roads drive to the Tolosa Winery & Vineyard and indulge in tasting some of the Central Coast wines. Then we’ll drive back to the Inn at Morro Bay, our home for the weekend, where you’ll have time to get settled in before dinner. We’ll enjoy cocktails and a gourmet dinner at the Windows on the Water restaurant while watching the sunset.

On Saturday morning, you’ll be free to explore the area on your own before meeting for an early afternoon tour of the Piedras Blancas Light Station in San Simeon. You can tour the town of Morro Bay or drive up to Cambria, a magical seaside village

a row, and in close proximity. At a height of 576 feet, Morro Rock has been an important marine navigational aid for over 300 years. It’s also a bird sanctuary and home to nesting Peregrine Falcons. Morro Bay Estuary provides a nourishing habitat to more than 250 species of birds and over two dozen endangered and threatened species.

In Morro Bay, you can browse boutiques and shops, or play golf on the world-champion ocean front

tucked amongst towering pines. Here, you will !nd art galleries, excellent restaurants, an old-fashioned saloon, boutiques and a great boardwalk along Moonstone Beach. Or drive up to San Simeon and tour the Hearst Castle. There is also a great viewpoint to see the birthing grounds of elephant seals about two miles before the Piedras Blancas Light Station.

On Sunday morning, we’ll drive to the Montaña de Oro (Mountain of Gold) State Park, which is just southwest of Morro Bay. The park’s name comes from the golden wild"owers that bloom in the

spring. This park features rugged cli#s, secluded sandy beaches, coastal plains, streams, canyons, and hills, including the 1,347-foot Valencia Peak. The best-known beach is Spooner’s Cove, across from the campground. Wildlife in the park includes black tailed deer and the black oystercatcher. We’ll take a 2 $ mile round trip easy hike on the Blu# Trail where you’ll enjoy spectacular views of the blu#s overlooking the ocean and experience the beauty of the spring "owers in bloom along the "at hiking trail.

We’ll then head over to Avila Beach via Perfumo Canyon Road which takes you up over the top of the mountain and then winds its way down to the ocean. Avila Beach is often the warmest beach in the county, n e s t l e d beneath scenic Point San Luis. This seaside town’s attractions include two piers, ocean-view restaurants, deep-sea !shing, mineral springs, and an

original Victorian lighthouse. At the end of the Hartford Pier, you can enjoy lunch at the Olde Porte

Inn which is known for its fresh seafood or dine at the Fat Cats Café near the Hartford pier entry.

You can spend the rest of the day exploring Avila Beach and Pismo Beach or return to Morro Bay for shopping, hiking or gol!ng. Cocktails and a group dinner will be held that evening in the Orchid Room at our hotel so you can just relax at the end of the day and enjoy the company of your fellow club members.

The fee for this trip is $145 per person which includes a lunch and two dinners including gratuities and tax, a wine tour, a light station tour and the activity fee. Interested parties please contact Doreen Pankow at [email protected] to reserve a spot.

THE BEST OF THE SOUTHWEST TOUR:SANTA BARBARA REGION VISITS SCOTTSDALE & SEDONA, ARIZONASTORY BY JEANNE MCNAIR, EVENT PHOTOS BY DICK LANGE AND TED LIGHTHIZER

Our annual January getaway began Friday, January 11 when 33 people in 17 cars braved early morning temperatures

in the 30s to meet in Moorpark prior to departure for Scottsdale, Arizona. !e very cold weather had everyone appropriately bundled up for our drivers’ rendezvous.

We had a smooth drive through L.A. and Palm Springs and really only hit some tra"c as we headed into Old Town Scottsdale to the Hyatt Place, our residence for the next three days. We were joined in Scottsdale by the Kallers, Brovskys, and Galloways to bring us to our complement of 39 people.

Friday evening, a#er checking in and getting settled, we le# the hotel as a group and walked to the lively Cien Agaves cantina (also located in Old Town) for our welcome dinner bu$et. Everyone enjoyed a delicious dinner which included ceviche, enchiladas,

tacos, and fresh guacamole. !e restaurant provided us with our own room and bar, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves while renewing old acquaintanceships and making new friends.

We were all happy to welcome Kathleen & Bob Wulf, Joan & Liam Murphy, and Arlene & Doug Braun on their %rst multi-day trip with the club.

Saturday morning a#er a brief meeting in the lobby, we departed as a group for the beautiful red rock town of Sedona, about one and a half hours north of Scottsdale. Again we were blessed with clear, very cold weather as we began the climb to Sedona, which is situated at 4400 feet. As we gained elevation we saw many Saguaro cacti along the beautiful stark mountain passes. For a while it looked like we were headed into some serious weather with large, dark, billowing clouds overhead, but our luck

held, and we arrived at the Enchantment Resort without any rain or snow.

!e Enchantment Resort is eight miles from the center of Sedona, nestled amongst the monolithic red rocks. It is truly a %ve-star establishment, and we were treated to a lovely meal with a menu prepared and presented especially for our group. We all had beautiful views of the surrounding natural beauty.

A#er lunch we were on our own to explore the many attractions within easy driving distance of the resort. Several cars headed %rst for the Chapel of !e Holy Cross, which is a beautiful edi%ce

overlooking the valley. !e entire wall in the back of the altar is glass, providing a stunning and awe-inspiring view. !is is a very spiritual place with its native style crèche and interesting modern Stations of the Cross.

Many others of the group went to the charming Tlaquepaque Shopping area with its many galleries, jewelry shops, and native artisans. Several other people departed for the quaint old town of Jerome, which is perched on a hillside with lots of art galleries and interesting stores. Of particular note is Nellie Bly Kaleidoscopes, the largest dealer of such in the U.S. !e stunning array of kaleidoscopes ranged in price from under $100 to several thousand dollars.

Another group headed for Montezuma’s Castle, a National Monument just south of Sedona. We all admired the cli" dwellings

constructed by the Sinagua culture in the 1100s. It was originally thought that Aztecs built the cli" dwellings, hence the name Montezuma’s Castle.

On Sunday morning, 31 of us gathered for a group picture before departing for Taliesen West, the winter home and workplace built by Frank Lloyd Wright, one of America’s greatest architects. We learned about many of Mr. Wright’s design techniques, such as narrow entrances with low ceilings which open into broad, inviting spaces. We saw his personal living quarters, his o#ce and the campus that is a functioning school of architecture. We also learned of the many innovations Frank Lloyd Wright created (but didn’t patent), such as track lighting, indirect lighting, and the placement of seating to enhance acoustics in a room. It was a fascinating tour enjoyed by all.

Sunday a$ernoon was free to enjoy the shopping and other attractions of Scottsdale. Some of our members took the opportunity to tour the massive tents %lled with classic cars being set up for the annual Barrett-Jackson car auction.

For our %nal get-together, we one again walked as a group to the Arts District of Old Town to Café Forte for dinner. !is charming bistro-style restaurant is normally closed on Sunday, but opened especially for our group. We had a delicious selection of appetizers, entrées and dessert to choose from, and the pleasure of the intimate atmosphere all to ourselves. !ere was much interesting conversation, camaraderie, and laughter.

Everyone agreed our trip to Scottsdale and Sedona was fun and interesting, and a great way to usher in the new year. =

The number one cause of engine oil leaks is worn out gaskets and seals.

The Tech Page

There is a commonly accepted notion among car enthusiasts: “All Porsches leak oil.” Porsches are certainly capable of leaking

oil, especially the older air-cooled cars. However, it is entirely possible to repair said oil leaks, get rid of the cardboard drip pad underneath your Porsche, and keep your local parking lots clean. In this month’s tech article, I will brie!y explain the common causes of oil leaks and outline speci"c oil leaks and their respective repairs by Porsche model.

#e number one cause of engine oil leaks is worn out gaskets and seals. Age and heat cycles take their toll on oil seals and gaskets, and they tend to harden and shrink. #e result will be an oil leak, and the severity of the leak depends on its location on the engine and whether there is oil pressure behind the leak.

Oil can also leak past newer gaskets and seals due to improper installation and/or sealing surface preparation. Clean, !at sealing surfaces and proper gasket and seal preparation and installation technique are critical in keeping your engine and garage !oor clean and dry. It can be expensive and time consuming to repair some oil leaks on Porsches, but it will help keep the underside of your car clean, and help to keep oil out of our creeks and the ocean.

#e severity of oil leaks are o$en overestimated based on the size of the oil stain on the ground underneath the car. A typical “drop” of engine oil can easily spread into a coin-sized spot, and several drops can form a pool of worrying size. While it

is advisable to check the engine oil level if any oil leaks are noticed, it must be said that there are over 35,000 “drops” in a typical quart of oil. An engine oil leak would therefore have to be sizable or long term to lower the engine oil level substantially.

It is o$en assumed that one cannot switch to synthetic oil in an engine that has previously run only conventional motor oil because of the presumed danger of oil leaking from every engine ori"ce a$er the switch. #is notion has been perpetuated over the years but is outdated. It is true that early formulations of some synthetic oils were not compatible with some original oil seal material, but the vast majority of older engines have either been rebuilt with newer-style seals that are compatible with synthetic oil, or at least have had most of the leak-prone seals replaced.

Synthetic or semi-synthetic oils are perfectly acceptable for early Porsche engines, and are o$en superior to conventional oils. It is important to select the correct weight of oil (15W-50 or 20W-50 in our mild climate for air-cooled engines and for 924/944/968/928, 0W-40, or 5W-40 for newer Porsches) and be sure that the oil contains enough anti-wear additives.

356/912/914 #e original Porsche !at-4 engine and

its VW-based cousin in the 914 have the dubious distinction of establishing Porsche’s reputation of being “road oilers,” but this is unfair. #ese engines are a minimum of 45 years old, and many of the leaking examples are simply due to gasket and seal age. Most of these cars are no longer driven daily, and engines that sit more o$en than they are run are much more likely to have gaskets harden and leak

prematurely. Many of these engines have been

rebuilt at least once by now, and possibly several times. Repeated disassembly and reassembly can take its toll on sealing surfaces and sheet metal parts, and improper repair work can result in leaks.

#e sheet metal oil sump plate is the source of one of the most persistent 356/912 engine oil leaks. #is part is o$en warped and distorted from dozens of removals and reinstallations, and perhaps an over-tightening of the fastening nuts along the way. It is recommended to use nylon locking nuts and thread sealant on

the portion of each mounting stud where it threads into the engine case. We also o$en "nd one of the sump gaskets missing (there are two) or out of order.

#e pushrod tube seals are another common oil leak spot on these engines. #ese seals can leak when the engine is not running as they are at the bottom of the engine. Common leaks when the engine is running include valve cover gaskets, oil "lter housing lines, and the fuel pump and tachometer drive seals.

911 1965-89#e air-cooled 911 engines are more

complex than their 4-cylinder forebears, and therefore have more places for oil to escape. A relatively common and sudden leak is from the oil pressure switch at the rear of the engine (towards the front of the car). #e switch can suddenly burst, and the resultant oil pressure leak can quickly drip onto the exhaust and cause smoking and

PORSCHE OIL LEAKS

What’s that on the !oor?

BY CHRIS ANDROPOULOS


Chris Andropoulos is the Service Manager and a technician at Schneider Autohaus in Santa Barbara (a Der Auspu! advertiser). Chris is a lifelong Porsche “nut” and is fascinated with and knowledgeable about all Porsches, from 356s to the latest GT3s. When he’s not racing his daily-driven 944 Turbo at PCA and POC track events, he can be found enjoying the beaches, ocean, and mountains of beautiful Santa Barbara.

the remote possibility of !re. "e O-ring for the in-engine oil cooler thermostat is adjacent to the oil pressure switch and can cause a similar, if less sudden, leak. "ese items are usually replaced at the same time. "is is a relatively easy repair in early carbureted engines and in the ‘80s 3.2 Carrera engines, but is almost impossible without engine removal in the interim CIS ‘74-’83 cars!

Other common 911 oil leaks include valve cover and timing cover gaskets, rocker arm sha#s, oil return tubes, the intermediate sha# O-ring on the front of the engine, the #8 main bearing (engine disassembly is necessary to permanently repair), and front and rear cranksha# seals. "e external oil lines that run to the external oil cooler can also leak where the rubber hose section is crimped to the metal hose ends.

944/968/928 Porsche’s front engine, water-cooled

sports cars should have all of the front engine seals renewed whenever the timing belt is replaced. When the timing belt is removed and reinstalled, the front cranksha# and camsha# seals are disturbed and will o#en leak therea#er if not replaced. Oil pan gasket leaks and camsha# housing/valve cover gasket leaks are also common on these engines.

964/993"e 964 and 993 of the 1990s share the

same basic engine design with earlier air-cooled 911s, but with many detail changes. "erefore, they are capable of their own unique oil leaks. "e magnesium valve covers of the 964 are prone to warpage, causing oil leaks that are only repairable by valve cover replacement. "e 993 switched to plastic valve covers and timing covers. "ese can also warp, but oil leaks from these are more o#en due to hardening of the rubber pro!le gaskets from age and heat. Improper installation of 993 valve covers will guarantee repeated oil leaks.

"e 964 and 993 engine design eliminated the internal oil cooler and the separate oil pressure switch of the earlier engines and their respective potential oil leaks. "ese late air-cooled engines are prone to oil leakage from the engine case through-bolts. "ese bolts not only help to hold the engine case together, but they also provide an oil return passage through the case. "e

O-ring seals at either end of each bolt can leak, and engine disassembly is necessary to remove and replace these O-rings.

Water-cooled 911/Boxster/Cayman: Porsche’s water-cooled sports cars do not have quite as many places from which oil may leak as their air-cooled predecessors. "e most notorious leaks on early Boxster and 996 engines are from the rear cranksha# seal (also known as the rear main seal). When these engines were new, variances in manufacturing tolerances meant that the end of the cranksha# was not always perfectly concentric within its bore in the engine case. Oil would continually leak past the rear cranksha# seal, even if the seal was replaced. Porsche replaced a number of engines under warranty for this issue, and the vast majority of these defective engines are now out of circulation. Porsche also redesigned the rear cranksha# seal several times, and revised its installation

procedure. Rear main seal replacement on these engines requires a special tool to check cranksha# concentricity in the bore (the engine needs replacement if this precision tool does not !t), and another special installation tool.

Another common early 986/996 engine oil leak is from the spark plug tube O-rings. "is oil leak is o#en mistaken for valve cover gasket leaks (the valve covers actually use special sealant instead of a gasket and rarely leak). Plastic tubes with O-rings on each end seal each of the spark plug bores in the valve cover and cylinder head. "ese O-rings harden with age and leak oil, o#en onto the exhaust, if the leak gets bad enough. My shop generally replaces the spark plug tube O-rings with each spark plug replacement as a preventative measure. Porsche eliminated these O-rings

in 2002 on the 996 and in 2003 for the 986 Boxster and made the spark plug tubes integral to the valve covers.

"e 997 GT3 engines can have their own unique rear main seal issue, despite the engine case being related to the earlier air-cooled engines. Porsche determined that they could gain a whopping three horsepower at high engine speeds if the rear cranksha# seal was installed backwards compared with traditional orientation, due to more e$cient air scavenging from the crankcase. Unfortunately, the backwards cranksha# seal will only e%ectively do its job when the engine is running and the crankcase vacuum is holding the sealing lip in place. Oil can seep past this seal when the engine sits without being run for a period. Porsche has replaced many of these seals under warranty, o#en to no avail. Not all 997 GT3s exhibit this symptom, but the only permanent repair besides driving your GT3 every day is to forgo three HP at the top end and install a rear cranksha# seal from the 997 Turbo, which is installed facing the “correct” way.

Finally, the Cayenne and Panamera engines are largely free of oil leaks so far, with early Cayenne V8s being known more for coolant leaks from plastic valley pipes and water pumps. "e valve cover gaskets can leak oil, and the Turbo models can “sweat” oil from the breather connection on the bank one turbocharger, which Porsche says is normal. Who says that all Porsches leak oil? =Boxster Rear Main Seal
