I had an issue where the car was idling in the driveway for about 5 mins after getting home from a short drive. When I returned to the car, it was overheating (not in the red, but at top line - normally runs at bottom line) and coolant had spilled from the overflow tube.

I figured either air in the system or possible head gasket. I got the kit to pressurize the cooling system from my FLAPS and found a couple of leaks. After tightening down some clamps, replacing other clamps, and replacing the gasket on my thermofan switch, I believe I am down to one leak left to chase down tonight.

I have pressurized the system to 10 lbs. I have a drip that is appearing from above and behind the AC compressor on my `86 951. Any thoughts on where a leak in this area might be originating?

Thanks,

Michael

Could be at the coolant lines to/from the turbo?

If I remove the J Boot, do you think I will have a good enough line of sight to see the leak if it is these hoses?

There was a leak at the bottom of the turbo cooling pump. I gave the clamp a few turns. I still have a slow leak somewhere that I should find, but it will have to wait for another day.

You may also want to try the coolant cap. I had coolant pissing out of the overflow tube and it was a bad cap.
