Pull up the carpet and the piece of wood in your rear trunk and look for radiator fluid. If you find it, you most probably need a coolant tank resovior.

And for the sake of your car, don't ever put in anything to stop radiator leaks. That stuff will only gum up your cooling system.

Because the boxster's cooling system spans the whole car (front bumpers all the way back to the trunk) there's a number of places where it could leak, but typically, leaks are found at the coolant tank. Cracks develop over the course of a few years of driving and sometimes, the plastic hose clamps break.
