Tank Will Fail

If your Boxster has more than 75,000 miles on it, I'd recommend changing the tank, it is not the easiest replacement to undertake but it is well worth the effort. The tank will fail eventually. Besides the coolant in your trunk and carpet, look at the color of the tank, if it's yellow it is on its way out. You'll see your new tank will be bright white. I had the same indications, many times the level would be fine, then I'd have periods when I'd have to top off weekly then it got worse and I had a coolant in my trunk. Get a ring clamp extension tool, order a new tank and some coolant from Pelican, get a six pack of beer (German of course you'll need it when your done) and a buddy, do some stretching and replace the tank. Then every time you open your trunk and see a nice new tank and pink coolant at the perfect level you'll get the satisfaction of a job well done.
