Thanks for the guidance. I checked it out and the fans are working perfectly. I actually bled the system and all seems good. So I guess the body shop doesn't know how to bleed Boxsters...

When I changed my coolant the light flashed for a few drives while I drove around with the bleeder valve open. The directions say to idle but I felt that was wasteful. I’m not convinced you don’t have a leaking expansion tank. What is your explanation for the coolant leak?
