Coolant leak, light flashing, fans running!

Jim, incredible! It seems like my shop is on the right track then, they said to check the rest of the system, the thermostat needed to be replaced and then they will troubleshoot from there on.

Thanks again guys,

i agree with jim for the most part. if you weren't overheating before the leak, then your problem is almost certainly air in the system. not sure how to purge it on a boxster. before replacing the t'stat i'd fill/purge the system, and see where the leak is coming from. while it might be leaking from over pressurization, if you weren't having an overheating prob prior to the leak, it's more likely just a heat-responsive leak in the tank/hose/etc.
