Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum. I purchased my 99 boxster back in June 2014. Not only this being my first Porsche but also my first "real" car that's not junk. I'm concerned because the temp light had been blinking for quite some time now, I'd say about 6 weeks and I checked the water/antifreeze tonight and noticed it was very low. I immediately went to walmart and dumped in some 50/50 and the light stopped blinking. The car is driving fine but what kind of permanent damage could I have done? Such a novice error on my part I can't help but be irritated at myself.

Thanks,
Eros
