I ordered a new coolant tank manifold gasket when I did mine. The old gasket is pretty worthless once disassembled.

I have this one sitting in the box and the paperwork from when I got it:
Coolant Expansion Tank
Part #: 996-106-147-08-M127
It may be necessary to add a hole in the top plate to match the original tank. The location is clearly marked.

So I pulled the trunk carpet and was surprised the trunk floor was bone dry ! Not one drop of fluid or any evidence there ever was a leak . I am only 15 minutes from Jakes shop so off I went . Blake pressurized the system and we could hear a slow leak up near the top of the tank . I have heard they sometimes split up on top near the filler neck . So I bit the bullet and had them order the OEM tank for me , yes expensive but Blake said they have had such bad luck with lower priced tanks that I decided to do this once and be done . The fun will begin once the tank comes in

Rob I appreciate the offer but decided to go with a " branded OEM Porsche " tank . Yes I know Porsche doesn't make the tanks but I'm hoping they have been spec'd and tested and the latest revision which supposedly have been upgraded . Time will tell .

I replaced mine last week, 98 base with 235000 miles. Here's what worked for me. Access top of engine so that a trouble light can be dropped next to the Air Oil Seperator, it may be neccesary to remove the upper breather tube for room. Jack the car and remove the extruded aluminum struts and the plate under the transmission. This will allow reasonable two handed access to the tank connections in the engine compartment. I drained only the tank on my Boxster and that worked for me. Looking up at the manifold connections you will see two short hoses about 3.5 and 4.5 inches long. On my car they were nearly petrified so I sliced and removed them, replacement hoses two different diameters were fabricated from hose from Autozone, $5.00.
With those hoses out using cable clamp pliers the oil fill tube clamp and the main outboard coolant hose clamp are accessible. Disconnect the outboard coolant hose from the tank nipple.
At this point the tank can be removed from the trunk, this is where an assistant would be very helpful, note: be careful with the oil fill hose connection is easily damaged if it is brittle with age. The upper small hose can be disconnected from trunkside. An assistant would be helpful maneuvering the new tank in as I think I recall the oil supply hose and manifold nipple have a tab and slot. PM me with any questions.

My replacement tank arrived yesterday and one of the guys at the shop is going to give me a hand and he's replaced one before and has all the right tools so hoping for a relatively easy R&R . I'll report back the results .
