Well i thought it was Snow or Ice Melting but its been over 10 days now... There is some Fluid on my drive way in front of my front passenger wheel... it seems to be coming thru the front of the Fender Wheel Well... Coolant or Brake Fluid? Cant be Washer Fluid that would Evaporate... Taking it to the shop Tomorrow to see whats up... Any idea's? Wonder if this mess is covered under CPO...

On my car it was the washer fluid container. Fluid leaked out of the back of the fender well (closest to the door). I filled it and then pulled the washer stalk, all of the fluid dropped out, so I was pretty confident it wasn't something major. Warranty covered it.

A/C refrigerant from a leaking o'ring on the condensor

mmmm Intresting, im guessing Driver Side? my leak is on teh Passenger side... But wouldnt "OEM Porsche" Washer fluid evaporate over atleast 10 days?

yea i was thinking about that too

Let us know what they find - goes in tomorow right?

Zookie

Yea ill take it to my Trusty Indy first and have them diagnose it and then drive down the street to the Dealer (who have a very good relationship with the Trusty Indy, they work on the Dealers Race Cars) to see if they will cover it under CPO and pick up a Warranty Loaner, If not back to my Trusty Indy and give my Trusty GF with CPO a call to come pick my *** up...

Sounds like a plan and a bit of a headache

Ok so here is the deal... Took it to my Indy they Pressure Tested it and all, found and showed me the Leak from the Front Pass Rad... So i drove it to the Dealer, they looked at it... Its Covered under Old CPO and also having the RMS and/or IMS done for the 10th time coz its Leaking again...

Find an auto industry engineer needing to pay off an education loan. Then have him deisgn a way to put a PDK and it's engine in your car. Yah I wish it was that easy. I guess there's no way to counter balance the engine to trans torque vibrations that eat those IMS's.

None of that made any sense

sooooo anyways in order to change the Rad, they will have to Drain the Fluid completely and then refill it New Fluid correct?

Pac996

I'm not sure how much coolant can be retained after removing the radiator. You can reuse the fluid so draining the fluid through either the spots below the radiator then replacing the radiator and then putting fluid back in burping the air out I guess you wouldn't need much coolant to replace an lost. The service manual does have instructions on putting coolant in and how to get the air out with the lever behind the cap. I think it takes a couple or more starts and stops of the engine to burp the air out.


Too tricky for you to pull off? Sorry

naw - piece of cake

What's the weather like today, I miss Hawaii

Pac996

Rainy. BUT I have to finish burning up a full tank of gas with injector cleaner in it before a Sunday Porsche Club cruise. You know, kinda one of those things a guy has to do

You know most of the drivers over here finally started driving faster than 50 on the hwys but they still freak at the sight of rain and go 30-45 in a 55mph zone. I'm sure you remember that weird aspect of Hawaii drivers.

Seattle has the same people - -except often times the sun it what causes them to slow down???
