I have on '04. It had a bad bleed valve seal when it was only about 3 years old. The symptom was coolant on the top of the reservoir. Don't know if that helps...

I called porsche before bringing it back. the head mechanic said that there is probably air caught in the tube and that it will purge out of the cap after driving it for a while. He said the cap is designed to let air escape

I have a hard time buying this because after I drive it the coolant tank sounds like a pot of boiling coffee. And it smells like coolant. the boiling sounds has diminished a little. but I have had the car for 4 years and never heard this before. let me know your thoughts
thanks

Sorry to hear about your problems. Porche repairs are often complex and almost always expensive. If I were you, I would talk to other owners in the area you live and find a mechanic that you can trust to have the experience to do a proper evaluation of what is wrong with your car. Sometimes this can be the dealer, or it could as easily be an independent shop. Once you fully understand what's wrong, you can then work with them on what you need to fix and how much it's going to cost.
