Under the gas fill nozzle? Sounds like either the right front corner radiator is leaking or the coolant tube going to it.

Check the threads on the failed water pump and coolant in the vacuum lines. There should be an extended warranty on it if I remember right.

Let engine cool down to at least 140F. Open coolant cap. Check level. Add if needed. Check under the car in that region and look for pink crusty stuff. You could clean that crusty stuff off if it’s there and see if it reappears. The coolant tank will purge coolant sometimes since it’s a pressurized system but that’s unexpected unless you recently had that topped off. Keep us posted. Best to you!

If this reappears contact Porsche service department and schedule an appointment since the 17 had the water pump and I believe the valve block warranty extended.

I had the coolant overflow tank replaced, under warrant, on my 2012 C2S. The tank had a crack in it.
