Coolant leak.
I just noticed my car was leaking a decent amount of coolant the oher day. I took it apart and it is the center radiator that was leaking. It was actually leaking internally and out one of the mounting points on the end caps. I just thought this would be intersting to share. I guess its time for a new center radiator.

lol, I'd like to have them. The price to replace something that's not broken stops me.
$168.12 more then the stock Porsche rad.

Mine is broken but do I really need a aluminum center radiator? It's not like you can pop the hood and check out my new blingy piece. Do they really make that much of a difference?
