Clean it, fix the leak..put it back together, put it back in, Drive it like you stole it...
then in late november pull the motor and rebuild it.

or buy a motor to rebuild as you drive it like you stole it....
then when you're ready, swap it out in a weekend...
if it runs, I don't see the need to rebuild unless compression or leakdown tests show definite faults..

I agree.
914's tend to spend too much time in the garage once you start the process. So get out there now while you can!
Enjoy!
