Boxster Coolant Leak

I recently purchased an '02 Boxster with about 97K on the clock. Overall, the car is in pretty good shape, but it does have a few issues that will need to be sorted out.

After leaving it parked overnight, I am finding a small puddle of coolant under the front left corner of the car. I did a quick look underneath and there is a definite wet spot on the plastic panel behind the bumper. Is this a common leak, and is there a common fix?

I have owned and worked on BMWs for the last 20 years and am all too familiar with their notoriously crappy cooling systems. But I am new to Porsches and will have to learn their quirks.

Doing some research seems to suggest that access to the radiators is gained by removing the front bumper. But before I do that, I just want to know if there is anything in particular I should be looking for. Are there known weak spots in the cooling system that I should know about?
