New 2001 Boxster S - Coolant after drive?

Hi,

First post.

I just purchased my first Porsche. It is a 2001 Boxster S with 63000 miles on it. It was a 3 owner when I bought it and it was Porsche Certified between owners.

It is in excellent shape and was well maintained. I have the service records from the 3rd owner.

Today it took it for a spin in the mountains. About a 45 minute drive through some winding roads. I parked the car back in the garage and about an hour later I noticed some fluid coming from underneath. The fluid (which I assume is coolant/water) is yellow tint, slightly oily and no smell. There was not a lot underneath but there was enough for concern.

I checked the reservoir and it was below the MIN line by about 3/4 of an inch.

So, I am obviously concerned, but my question is, how concerned should I be?

I plan to take it to my mechanic tomorrow. Should I drive or tow it?

Thanks in advance,

John
