While you're at it you may want to replace your coolant level sensor as they can get gunked up, it's about $30. It goes on the bottom of the resevoir.

Zerex makes an acceptable coolant that is approved by Porsche, I don't know the name of it off the top of my head but if you do some research you'll be able to find it.

This seems to be a common problem, let us know if you get it resolved.
Just bought the reservoir for $225 from these guys with free shipping:

They also have the pink Pentosin "lifetime" antifreeze which after extensive research I believe is the product that porsche rebrands and quadruples the price. Pentosin (pink) is the factory fill for audis and vws. It costs $11.42 per gallon compared to $50 per gallon for Porsche-branded.
