Coolant Leak
I live in the SF Bay Area and we are in the middle of a heat wave though today it was only in the high 80s. After doing a few errands (total driving about 18 mi), I parked the car in the garage. I went out a few hours later to check something and noticed a pool of coolant on the floor and a slow drip towards the front of the engine. Since I didn't have any Porsche coolant around I filled up the reservoir with distilled water and then took the car for a short drive to get it up to 180 degrees. After having cleaned the garage floor I parked it again and watched for dripping but did not see any. The coolant tank was done by the previous owner a couple of years or so ago.
So the question: Is it safe to drive the car with a couple quarts of distilled water and since it's a holiday weekend I can't take it to the shop until Tues. If it leaks some more what coolant should I get given the Porsche dealer parts dept will be closed now?
