2018 991.2 coolant leak at 1,600 miles. Any else experiencing problems?

Might want to take the car to another dealer. The leak is pretty obvious. Claiming that there must be a puddle on the floor before they do a repair is bullsh*t. If the second dealer uses that puerile excuse, ask to see the policy in writing from a Porsche factory source.

FWIW it was overfilled by the dealer :/

oil change. Plan to send pics to my dealer tomorrow to see what they say...

I texted these photos to my SA at Porsche DTLA over the weekend. He forwarded to Porsche and was authorized a replacement pump. He just wanted to get it done before contaminating vacuum lines, if possible. He's also having his leather guy repair a rubbed spot on my seat bolster while it's in there- complimentary This dealership has been the absolute best in terms of providing me excellent service over the years!

Now on a sample of one (that I know of), my friends 991.2 is on water pump #3. The original went at around 1,500mi, the first replacement at 2,500mi (1,000mi later). So far everything under warranty, as it should be, and so far the newest pump has gone about 600mi and all is well. The dealer indicates that there is no updated part, at least by part number.....I think I did read there was an update. If so, it didn’t work assuming the new one was installed at 1,500mi was indeed a new design.
Im sure Porsche will figure this out but it has to be a bit of a disappointment to those that have to put up with it.
Stay strong, and live life at 6K!

YEP!
Not really understanding the dealer's attitude about this. It's clearly leaking something that isn't meant to leak. They should fix the problem now.
I'd be a squeaky wheel, reaching up above the dealership level, until Porsche produced some grease. Unfortunate automotive pun unintended.

Took my new T for a long drive today. Just over the 500 mile mark now. I decided to inspect underneath after reading this thread. Looks like I may be already getting a similar issue with my pump:
Thoughts?
