That is the view from under the car. You may have to remove one of the underbody panels.

It was seeping from the pump and slowing dripping onto the other hoses where it evaporated and left coolant residue on the hoses under the water pump.

Let us know what you find.

Mine was doing exactly the same thing. Water pump time.

OK...I'll check it out the next time I can get the car up in the air. I'm not a DYI kinda guy so any idea what a typical cost to replace is?

If it is the water pump, the replacement cost at a local shop should be around $500-$700. A good pump is $250 (Porsche OEM around $325), Porsche coolant is $50, plus a few (~3) hours labor.

In the instance where its not the water pump, you'll have to spend some time to identity where the coolant is coming from.
