Why would you guys say the engine may need repair? What are the obvious indications?

What is an engine head

The obvious indications are the mixing of coolant and oil. Coolant does just that, it keeps your engine in an operating temperature range that is healthy for it. Oil keeps the moving parts lubricated. They work in separate channels and are not supposed to intermingle. When they do, it means that something has failed and allowed them to mix.

Very generally, the engine is made up of the block or crankcase, and the head (or heads-- Boxsters have two). The heads and the block are bolted together. the channels of oil and the channels of coolant run through both the heads and the block. What people are saying is that it is possible that the head and the block have come apart from each other enough to allow those channels to mix fluids. That's bad, and in the case of a Porsche, pretty expensive. It can cause a lot of other things to go wrong.

We were all there once. I definitely did a lot of things I shouldn't have with my first car. If you think your car may be telling you something is wrong, stop driving it if you can. That will allow you to spend less money later.

1. STOP DRIVING IT NOW. (Have it towed to the garage)

2. FIND ANOTHER MECHANIC NOW. (Preferably a mechanic that knows Porsche's)

3. PRAY to the motoring gods for leniency.

rex is correct. Driving it will only cause more damage and more damage means more expense to repair.

2. FIND ANOTHER MECHANIC NOW. (Preferably a mechanic that knows Porsche's)

rex is correct….. Unless, and I hate saying this because rex is correct, rex is correct, rex is correct, but if as you said the purchase agreement was for the mechanic to repair it for free, “maybe” you should give him a chance to make good on the agreement, at this point I don’t see the harm, how could he make things worse, just don’t pay him any money. If you are ask to pay FIND ANOTHER MECHANIC.
