A couple of things - check your cap - Porsche has superseded the cap several times due to problems with leaking - the cap you should have part # ends in 04.

Coolant tanks are sneaky - they'll expand when hot and allow leaks, then contract when cool. If yours looks poor - visible cracks, heat stressed, etc, your tank is a likely suspect.

Very important! In replacing your cap and tank - DON'T cheap out and go with an aftermarket tank!!! Spend the extra coin and get a Porsche tank and cap. There's many, many stories about failure of aftermarket caps and tanks taking a dump soon after installation.

Same with your water pump - buy a PORSCHE pump - not an aftermarket cheapy. Again, lots of horror stories about aftermarket pumps.

These are NOT items you want to purchase from Rock Auto or someplace from eBay or another cheap replacement.
