Looks to me be a result of vibration against the rear wheel well. Also, notice the coolant is green??? The "magic" Porsche coolant is pink. My question is, does the pink eventually turn green? If no, then maybe the issue was due to the corresive nature of standard off the shelf coolant? Is this why only the "magic" Porsche coolant is recommeneded?
Eventually these tanks will wear out, I wonder if a careless previous owner filled it with standard coolant at some point which helped it fail sooner than later. Who knows, I know now that only the recommened coolant has been installed, so, crossing my fingers.
Good luck on your S purchase, do you have a Boxster right now?
