I don't really smell anything in the trunk.
I don't know if the water pump was replaced with the engine. The receipt notes a lot of hours cleaning coolant out of the oil system but not the water pump. I need to track down more info from a dealer.
If it is a small seal leak, I would be tempted to use a cooling system sealer but I'm guessing that will just cause problems down the road with a Porsche.

Do not under any circumstances use cooling system sealer. That stuff can clog up places you don't want restricted.
If you do use it, please post your VIN so we know to avoid your car if you sell it
