I cleaned up the inside of the belt housing and cleaned and inspected the rollers, tensioners. I was replacing the cam belt tensioner anyway. I think the bolt might have slipped into the fan shroud, but I didn't see there or on the floor...I hate when that happens!!

Well..she's all back together..never did find that nut..did stop by the dealer and buy 3 of them..just for future disappearances :-) Would have just used a plastic sleeved lock nut, but didn't want to rile the OEM Porsche God of Belts!!
