Default Coolant tank leak

Got the dreaded drip under the left end of the car right below the left heat shield. Looks to me to be the coolant tank. I replaced them in the naturally aspirated 996s never on a turbo! Any breakdown on replacement proceedure would be welcomed! Thanks

Do the fuel filter too. Lowering the engine is pretty easy to do if that helps with access and justifying new motor mounts.

Yes, lower the engine a bit and replace fuel filter while you are there. It is really pretty easy.
