Leading evidence: 'plastic' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'plastic' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace /updated by the previous owner' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

And, for the record, the coolant tank was already replaced/updated by the previous owner.

I totally flushed out my system when I changed over.

I had to replace some of my "t" fittings due to this.

Suggestion
I have not had any problems with them and I know lots of others who are running non-OEM coolant and this is the first that I have heard of any problems with the plastic fittings being effected by the coolant How did you determine that it was the coolant that effected the plastic fittings?

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.

It's clear with a yellow tint, and a little slimy. Coolant? And, for the record, the coolant tank was already replaced/updated by the previous owner. Is this leaky hose or water pump perhaps
Bobby... Been here.. Its coolant. and its not the hose, Its the water pump. I know it looks like the hose.. But its not.. BTDT. Thats a water pump bolt. But the water is coming out of the shaft not the bolt. It just runs down and drips from there. You can not follow the trail becasue the engine is hot and the stream trail eveps.
and also, that may not be the right coolant.. You need to get pantosen in that thing STAT! The amercan coolant breaks down the german plastics... AND TRUST ME... I had to replace some of my "t" fittings due to this. They just trun to a soft almost like melted mush.....
I have been running Peak 50/50 for two years, 9,000 miles with no problems. As long as the coolant is rated for aluminum engines and you don't mix it with the old OEM Porsche coolant you are fine. I totally flushed out my system when I changed over.
There is glow in the dark dye stuff for adding to radiator or oils for good tracking down sources. Works with a/c also. Got a kit a long time ago just lucky I already had a halloween black light to spot trails.
Shark Attack - I know you were talking about the plastic fittings, etc. I have not had any problems with them and I know lots of others who are running non-OEM coolant and this is the first that I have heard of any problems with the plastic fittings being effected by the coolant How did you determine that it was the coolant that effected the plastic fittings?
I agree that appears to be the waterpump. Flush the system with PentoFrost (Pink Pentosin) when you do the job or you'll be back in the same place in about 8 months.
