I don't know how old it is. It looks pretty good so I doubt it's the original one. Ran until temp got up to 180, nothing, no leaks. I know it's too early to tell but I'm wondering if the cap wasn't tight or cross threaded. I'm gonna take it for a limited ride tomorrow and see what happens.
Any recommendations on anti freeze?

Been there, done that. Cross threaded and lost a bunch of coolant. Readjusted the cap and never had a problem again. As for the coolant itself, get the real thing from Porsche. Expensive but how often do you buy it?
