It"s finally not leaking coolant
Towards the end of last summer my 996 started leaking coolant, small amount at first then more and more . Last owner had the engine out about 1000 miles before I bought it , I looked at the bills seems like timing components and water pump and reseal job.I figured the water pipes were starting to leak ,so , with winter here its a good time to pull the engine and weld the pipes. I own a shop so not the end of the world.Once we had the a/c and power steering pump out and got a better look we found the hose from the water tank to the pump had a hole wore in it from contact with a fuel line.Easy one there.Now the second one and the reason for the post, the water pipe that is the bracket for the power steering pump had 2 out of the three bolts missing. I went on ebay to look at pictures of this bracket and one was shown with all three bolts in it , and two were pictured missing the same two bolts mine was missing, the shorter two of the three.So glad it was an easy fix , but just a heads up , it may be something common. Wondering if anyone has seen this before.It was TREMENDOUS and YUGE driving it today without the stink of coolant. Also did poly trans mount bushings while we were under it ,TREMENDOUS , YUGE difference .lolol

I did take a pic but its fuzzy and wont do any good. The main accessory bracket is two pieces , the piece that the power steering pump bolts to is also a water passage with an o ring. It's attached with three bolts, two out of the three were gone.What I thought was funny tho,was that the same bracket for sale used on ebay is also pictured missing the same two bolts.If you look at my avatar pic you can see the area under the car where it was leaking on the floor, lol
