They said a pressure test might give a false reading like you said so instead of charging me for a useless test they are changing the cooler first of all as this is the least expensive option. As the car has lost about a litre of oil they have said that this is the more likely cause. If it happens again with the new cooler we are looking at a potential cracked cylinder head! Fingers crossed its the oil cooler!

kindest regards

I like your optimism. You might pay £785 to find out the car is scrap. I had a 2000 Boxster S that suffered the same symptoms and it was due to a cracked cylinder head, it's a common issue on the Boxster S.
