The only thing i noticed is my cap had a little residue when taking it off after driving the car the entire weekend. I am 100% no coolant leaked, i measured the coolant tank. I have no coolant on the floor.
You got to love these Porsche mysteries ,as mutiple people have the same issue. Still not as bad as trying to find every oil leak on my 86 930!!!!

I found the video that explains the coolant problem on the 997TT.

Got a call ftrom my SA just a few min ago. They have checked the car and have not been able to find any leaks. They test pressure the system and checks out ok, reservoir level normal
Is it possible there was some left over coolant sitting in a crevice thus dripping and causing the smell? They will keep the car and keep checking

Flyjets, thanks for that video that could easly explain my problems
Sharkster, wish you guys were closer thx for the video
Macduff, I been told at the dealer they never seen this problem on a 997...... seems contradictory as many others have or are currently experiencing same issues
Meanwhile, im still waiting to hear back from my SA

I am in the same boat as you - just bought my '08 997.1TT last November but I only got to enjoy it for a few weeks before I put her away, so I don't know if I have any coolant leak issues. I too have a 2yrs of CPO on my car. I will keep an eye out come spring.
Hope they resolve this for you.

Well I will see if I can get to my leak from the top. From what I have read, engine must be lowered at least several inches. I got the tools and jacks. Funny thing is I just got my FVD flash and was wanting to instal it but this came up. If the car got hot before imagine now?

Ok not really an update but apparently they found the leak spot and had to drop the motor for the second time to get to it. I should have it back monday
