Have you removed your front bumper skin and cleaned out the radiators? Is there a good amount of fluid in your system? (check the tank in the back trunk with the engine cool, add more if needed)

If everything checks out, you might want to have an independent Porsche mechanic flush your coolant system. There might be blockage somewhere.
do i have to go to the dealership to flush the coolant system? yes, i saw some leafs in front of my left radiator, but right one is clean. but i remember that when i first bought the car it always stay in the middle of the "8" never passed it..
