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.
