Enough is enough....Monday it goes to my Porsche indi guy for diagnosis and repair.....hopefully my 98' w/86,000 miles won't cost me an arm and a leg!....maybe just "an arm".......
I can confirm that the dripping is coming from the engine area as opposed to the front or middle, so it's NOT the heater core or radiators or the lines running to the rear. So, my "uneducated guess" is a hose or connection. To my knowlege, the hoses are either original (20 yrs old) or at least 16 yrs old, because that's how long I've owned it. I don't know the symptoms of a failing water pump other than possbly overheating, which I'm not experiencing, so my hope is that it's jsut a hose, clamp or other connection.
