I checked the o rings in the pressure relief valve and the larger ring was bad - replaced it and the relief valve holds better than before but still leaks.

I can now trace the leak to the point where the pressure relief valve mates to the tank - you can hear the hissing after using the Airlift and creating a vacuum.

Unfortunately, since it is still not airtight, the coolant expands when hot and overflows. I have ordered a genuine Porsche OEM tank and learned a lesson to not cheap out on that part!

Whay a pain!
