Had a coolant pipe fail on two prior boxsters. Front of the motor. Very minor crack in the rubber right where it clamps to the block. If I drove it hard I would always get the coolant smell. No leaks on the floor because any drip was always caught in the underbody tray. Pretty easy fix when you take the interior engine panel off to acces the front of the engine.

Now I have noticed condensation above the coolant recovery tank cap, and I think it is the old style cap. Could this be the cause of the smell? Drives me nuts...I hate that smell.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
