ok, im not sure how to pull the carpet. are the 986 and 987 different. i forced my way through the carpet and was able to feel one or two spots near the tank and side of car, felt dry.


i took the fasteners out, but on my 987 the carpet is attached to styrofoam below. also the trunk latch has no screws, im not able to detach the plastic cover for the latch from the carpet.

Garage
Can you get under the car to look? How about looking at the water pump from the passenger compartment? You will have to remove the carpet behind the seats and remove the cover. There will be coolant or residue behind and below the water pump pulley. Also, you can remove the belt and spin the pump with your hand to get a good idea of the condition of the pump. If the pulley wobbles or the pump make any grinding noises when spinning it's bad.

I think Jager is on the right track. The puddle begins pretty far forward. Could be the water pump. Worth checking at least especially if the quick check under the carpet seems dry.
