Default Pig Guts!

Getting the torque converter seal and the top and bottom coolant pipes replaced, guess they thought it would be easier to just take the whole engine out

Yeah when I saw it I was like holy crap! Guess I am used to smaller engines, I was expecting something half as big.

Wow! Someone should adapt one of those for a race car (maybe a Daytona Prototype) and see how it does!

So, after pulling of the intake, I have the new pipes...

Figures!

Nothing obvious, worst case now is a headgasket, but I have a warranty for that.

Any other ideas?

Tank is good, cap is good, no visible coolant lost, Porsche Dealer thinks it is the o-ring was done wrong when the pipes were installed.

Well as a follow up, put everything back together and it pressure tested fine. Maybe the last person that did the job left some pipes loose...
