One thing I've noticed about my Boxster which I've had for 20 years, is that a lot of different plastic pieces have become brittle and are breaking. I'm assuming that is a likely cause here. That certainly goes to the coolant tank which has been known for problems for a long time. As well as the "funky" squeeze ends of the hoses, like on the air/oil separator. I also had similar failure with smog/air hoses cracking and breaking.
It's a bummer because the car has usually been garaged, and in California. So as much as I like the Boxster and think it's really one of the best overall sports cars ever, and I have other old Porsches I will keep running forever, I'm worried about all these plastic parts. And even if I can go buy a low mileage 2000 Boxster S on BAT. I'm worried that it too will need all of this. Ugh.
We'll see what it is.
