Hi,
They could well have overfilled it, especially since ATF has such a large expansion coefficient. The Coolant and the tranny have to be between 80°F & 100°F when filled. If over this temp, the tranny will be underfilled, if under, the tranny will be overfilled.
The problem is, there is no vent for ATF to escape from. An Automatic does pressurize the fluid and so it may be able (if overfilled) to force past one of the ancillaries I mentioned. I'd start by checking these for the source of the fluid.
FYI, the Tiptronic S rarely fails. One of the Dealerships here in MSP has never had to service any of their Boxster TipS cars aside from normal fluid/filter changes, at least that's what the Service Mgr. told me...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
