Coolant hoses can get pretty welded into place. It's good you used the correct coolant, having the wrong coolant can cause corrosion in your engine as I understand it as well as reducing the efficiency of your cooling system.

Yea, not so fast...I will NEVER say "FIXED" again (other than this time), after my post I headed for the garage, did a quick look under and noticed a new puddle. S**T! Water pump has failed, the 2nd I've replaced on two Boxsters in 5 months. Irritating to say the least...  Gotta love how some sellers are savvy enough to sell just at the right time...Good news though, RMS is dry and clean

Tboyer,
I don't have a Boxster yet, but hope to by next spring.
2 water pumps in 2 boxsters?... maybe u might want to consider using a different coolant than the 'magic' porsche stuff.....
In the motorcycle world, we look for 'silicate-free' coolant, as that is supposed to be easier on the seals in the pumps. Me personally, I use the Dexcool compatible stuff.
I've replaced the water pumps (preventatively in our vehicles at around 100-120,000km range.)

The R/R were on new to me 986's, both failed within the first 1500 miles of ownership, not much I could have done....
BTW, I still have the same leak after the new pump was installed, guess this one was preventative....goes back in tomorrow
