Default Coolant loss

Small puddle of pinkish-orange fluid under car...does anyone know the color of the Cayman's coolant? This may mean an expedition to the dealer. I checked the coolant expansion reservoir but cannot see a level, even below the "min" marker. Thanks for any info about this.

I can tell you that both audi and vw use coolant which has a pinkish color, so I think that you probably are seeing coolant.
FWIW, I just checked my coolant, and with a cold car it is below the min level and I haven't seen any spots on the garage floor.

hope that helps,
Dave

Thanks for the info - Dave

There were a small number of Cayman's that had a bad hose clamp. Result was coolant leak. I'd get it checked.
