I've been procrastinating on lifting the car and checking the WP or hose connections mainly because I don't have access to a lift and to be honest I want to be present and look for myself IF I take it to my indy Porsche shop. (ie: trust but verify...LOL).

I'm thinking that I overfilled the coolant tank this year when I took it out of it's winter storage. As I said, when I first took it out of storage the dash "low coolant" light was blinking (as it has done the last 2 years when it came out of storage) so I added only 1-1/2 cups of 50/50 water/coolant. That was enough to cover the coolant sensor, and also brought the tank level to the "max" mark on the tank when cold.

At this point I think I'll just monitor the situation and if the issue happens again I'll take it in. With the summer driving season ending October, if I can wait until then to bring it in that will be my plan....unless it drips again.

Thanks for the advice.

Strange....no more drops on the floor after the last few drives..... Did it magically fix itself? Have the hose connections "softened up" with use after the long winter storage?....who knows? I'm just glad that the drops on the floor have stopped.
