Leakage

Gotbthe car back thry could not find a leak after pressure testing and driving it.I got flashing low coolant light on the short drive home.no leakage when it got home. When it was cool I added enough to get to thr minimim line.it leaked some below.As it was suggested I think it is the hose under the reservoir.Im going to get the shop to check that. Tomorrow.

The second time as it was 98 degrees out and well u al know. Meanwhile the shop as of 3 days later havent seen a leak. I figured It was the lower hose as not a lot leaked...maybe 1 gallon.Now i have no idea what to tell them .they drove it and parked it on a hill but no leak...Any ideas?
Please, I need my little boxster... badly...

A decent shop would have pressure tested the system after adding coolant dye to make any leaks quickly visible. If yours didn't, take it to someone that knows what they are doing.
