Here's a link (I hope) that will explain it.

If you're adding, I'd only use Porsche coolant. It's expensive, but mixing coolants is dangerous. You can change it over to another type of coolant with a complete flush and fill later.

Don't just fill it and forget about this. Do get the cooling system checked out. You could have a leak in your coolant tank resoivor, a blown hose or just a loose clamp.

Motors are really expensive in comparison, so get to the source of the problem asap!
