Technical ER

I accidently became a boxster fan when my daughter went to work abroad, she owed me so much when she came home I Just carried on driving her Boxster. However, about a month ago i had a water leak, RACd to my local garage and leak fixed. Last week I had a oil warning light but was on the M1 so tried to make it off, the car cut out on the sliproad and emitted a huge amount of smoke out the side vents.

The garage it was recovered to is not a specialist but has said that he has topped up the water and oil, it runs but the water is disappearing and the engine overheating. Does this sound terminal. I hear that an engine replacement in a 1999 probably isnt worth the money.

What's the consensus please? Salvageable or sell for spares

Am i going to get another Boxster - hell yes!
