Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The gasket in the coolant housing cover is shot and needs replacing. P/N: 996 106 316 51 :thumb:
Or the coolant hose is weeping between the rubber hose and aluminium pipe and dripping from the bolt with it being the lowest point. Sometimes the alloy can corrode and expand the pipe creating small pin holes for coolant to escape. You need to clean up the connection and it's usually good to go again. It could be the gasket as RP mentions, but while you have the coolant drained I would do both just in case. Also check you other hoses for the same weeping while you have it drained.
