Coolant Leak, need advice - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

We have not had many posts on the water pump in the aggregate. Do you have access to a lift and can do it yourself or is this going to go to the shop?

The water pump is on the front of the motor. Coolant leaks near RR wheel point to the plastic coolant tank and assoc. hoses and clamps. Pull the motor cover or get on a lift and have a good look in that area.

It may well be a hose on the engine side... There is NO moisture in the trunk though, so hopefully the tank is still fine. It is only 5 months old...

On the way to the shop today to get it on a lift tomorrow. The speed at which it is dumping fluid may well be a blown hose, will not know for sure until the shop can lift it to get a look at it.

More to come tomorrow...
