Default 991.2 Coolant Leak?

After two days of a worsening trail of sweet-smelling light pink fluid leaking from under my C4S with 12k miles, it seems to be Coolant leaking from a distributor pipe of some sort. Headed in for diagnosis and repair. I did have the odd "Low Coolant Level - Stop Driving Immediately!" error light about 6 months ago that never came back once the Coolant reservoir campaign repair was completed.

Coolant leaks have plagued these cars ever since they went water cooled..... you would have thought they would have fixed this issue by now.

Just got my car back today. It was a leak at the thermostat housing. A new gasket seems to have cured the problem. All is well again. Man, I enjoy this car.

Glad to hear you are enjoying it. At least you put quite bit more miles than me before you encounter coolant leak issue. Did you have to wait for parts to ship from Germany too?

Thank you. The dealer had the car for about 48 hours. I've had no further problems.
