Your dad has good taste in cars. I take it he never had the coolant pipes pinned?

As for me... working from home. And homeschooling two kids. Did take the Box for a long drive today. Roads here are nearly empty! I suppose that is a very slim silver lining. Mostly this sucks.

Thanks for the compliment, I'll let him know you said that.
Na, never even knew about "coolant pipes pinning" til today.

After removing a few things, the culprit is coolant pipe #5 on this video.
that thing was completely removed from the engine!

I advised him to remove the motor and attend to all 8 coolant pipes, but he says it unnecessary...... #facepalm #shrugs

At least I convinced him to replace the coolant tank. It has to be the same one from factory, cause that s**t is beyond yellow.

What part of town do you live in? I don't think I've ever seen your black Boxster. I'm in Crown Hill, in between Ballard and Shoreline.
Oil would have been terrible....don't even want to think about what kind of job that would entail. I live in Seatac. The boxster is actually ocean blue metallic, swing around sometimes, I drive it everyday
