A question about Boxster 01 overflow pipe.

Or two. Does the overflow pipe from the reservoir terminate just behind the rt. rear wheel and flow out onto the ground? Can't find anything in any diagrams and my poor car was so mistreated for most of its life.

Second question, I replaced the reservoir, the old one was leaking. The car was spewing coolant out thru the overflow hose and onto the pavement (not good.) Yesterday, it did it again and the motor got vewy hot! I'm wondering if it might be pressurizing because of a (maybe) cracked cylinder. I'm also wondering if when I replace the old engine with a known good one if this problem will be solved. (I guess that's technically three questions.

Lots to do still, but I'm bringing it back.:ah:
