When I parked up on my drive fluid started streaming out from in front of the rear left wheel. The boot seems to be dry so I have a feeling that the water pump may have gone.

Has anyone else experienced this?
My 986 had almost identical symptoms. It was the water pump. I replaced the pump and thermostat and had no more leaking -- until the heater core started leaking. When I replaced the heater core I examined all the hoses to forestall additional leaks. So far, so good.
