Boxster Coolant Leak

[emohawk11]

Hi - I have the same issue with a leaking front radiator after running over a FOOTBALL on a dual carrage way at night. The car is loosing water when the system is HOT only, but around 2 pints every 30 minutes.

Ive phoned the garage today - do I need to order a new front radiator ? or is there another fix to this issue.

Thanks in advance to any help.

That's not much information. You didn't mention the bumper or other obvious damage. But your accident must have broke something, and if I had to guess I'd say that the radiator's locating pin on the side closest to the front has been cracked/sheared. I doubt that the jarring could pull a hose loose. There is no repairing that radiator if I am correct, and the air scoop may have been ruined as well. Once the bumper is removed it will be clearer.
