pump
There should be a weep hole on the front of the pump casting, at the bottom of the bearing area. The weep hole is needed to vent coolant that will seep into the bearing if the shaft seal is failing. The problem is that the pulley hides the weep hole.
My 2000 S has a one-year-old genuine Porsche pump on it, and it's already weeping -- as is evidenced by a coolant smell in the garage after driving the car, and pinkish streaks all over the front of the pump casting. Looks like I will be swapping a new pump onto my car soon. I can't pursue a warranty replacement because the pump was installed before I owned the car.
