Default Coolant Pipe Diagram

Wondering if there is diagram available to help me understand all locations that need to be addressed.

Also curiouse about different methods of repair. Seems like welding is most common but others seem to drill a hole and insert a bolt. Any idea if one or the other is less risky to the associated parts?

Just got my GT3 and it's winter in Ohio so probably best time to deal with this issue. I tracked my 996tt @ 6 times and never had a problem so I'm a but surprised how prevalent these failures are on the GT3.

The only proper way is welding. The bolt method is a band aid.

Here are PET diagrams of the 8 fittings. Pictures of the actual parts are available in other threads on this topic.
