Or it could be a simple oil leak and water tank cap problem with the cap replacement fixing the problem.
This is a case where I wouldn't buy that car without an independent Porsche mechanic with a wonderful reputation for understanding the internals of the engine inspecting the engine and running lots of tests.

Yep, I understand your point. I wish I could count on a independent Porsche mechanic with that sort of skill set but that's not the case here where I live. I decided to go ahead and if all goes well in 2 weeks time will have my 1st Porsche
One year warranty will come together with the car stating (in the contract) that the problems spotted by the independent assessor will be addressed - at least it would be helpful in case legal action is required (hope not!)
I am going on holidays for 2 weeks and will get the car when I'm back - at least a good reason to get back home...
Cheers,
