This is where I am assuming the leak is.

Good stuff. Sounds like you are on track to keep it.
For the coolant tank, as with most parts '
Porsche brand' is the best one to get. The Only alternative that I'd trust is this one:
Coolant Expansion Tank 99610614708Y - OE Supplier - 996-106-147-08-Y | Pelican Parts
There are a couple good DIYs that I referenced recently when I
did the one in my beater/project car:

DIY Coolant Tank Replacement in Under 2 Hours
Also possible the coolant cap or the O-ring on the pressure valve could be the leak. If the tank is original and suspect, might as well replace it though.
