I plan on filling the coolant as I belive it's on min and I'll drive it one more time then I'll put it in storage as I'm out the country in Aug through Sept so I guess I'll winter store it and deal with it next spring I'll take it to Porsche and see what they say. I'll keep everyone posted

Not sure where you are but I would immediately contact Porsche and find out what they want to do. This is the first 2019 I have heard leaking if it is a 2019 and is truly leaking.

My thinking is it has the older pump in it, it is a 2019. I just don't have time to address it as I'm traveling so I put it in storage

Can't tell from your photo. The only way to find out is to confirm and not guess. Try placing your mobile phone directly under the area of interest and take a better pic with lots of light.

I have a 2015 GTS and I first noticed an on-and-off coolant leak in May 2020. I never had to add coolant. I DIY'd the leak in June 2021. It has been leak-free since then.

Many 991 owners have had this coolant leak. Some early 991.2 models had water pump issues.

That appears to be the same spot mine leaks at. How did u fix it mdo I need replace the pump. I'll look further but looks like it's in same spot it's hard to see as I didn't pull the bumper

You do not need to pull the bumper or anything else. The repair is all done from underneath and all I used were car ramps. I took my time as I hate rush or botch jobs. It took me about three hours but can be done in half that. In fact I was still under CPO warranty, but I hate anyone messing with my cars and did it myself. Parts costs were nothing really. If it ever leaks again, I'll install the reinforcing bracket. See the attached Porsche Technical Bulletin.
