i think my girlfriend might be cheating on me :(

I've suspected for some time now that my girlfriend is cheating. The usual signs... Phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. She has been going out with the girls a lot recently although when I ask their names she says, "Just some friends from work. You don't know them." I always stay awake to look for her taxi coming home, but she always walks down the drive although I can hear a car driving off as if she got out around the corner. Why? Maybe she wasn't in a taxi? I once picked up her cell just to see what time it was and she went berserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and asked why I was checking up on her. Anyway, I have never breached the subject with her. I think deep down I didn't want to know the truth but last night again she went out and I decided to really check in on her. I decided that I was going to park my porsche next to the garage and hide behind it so I could get a good view of the whole street when she comes home. It was at that moment crouching behind my car, that I noticed that coolant was leaking out the driver rear of the car. Is this something that I can fix myself or should I take it to a shop?

it could be a crack in your coolant tank....as far as ur girlfriend...go with your gut

Gee, you know the sgns so well. How long ago was your affair with another man?

That bit about the coolant is very funny. I presume your story was the old bait and switch?

yeah it was a joke lol i saw it on another forum and it made me laugh so i figured i would tweek it a bit and show it to you guys. o and my cars not leaking anything.... and i don't think my girlfriend is cheating on me.... or is she

I just fixed mine..it is your expansion tank or coolant tank. I had mine repaired for $600. Repair included the "factory" Porsche coolant etc. My mufflers had coolant running all down them...until my temp light starting to flash on me meaning low coolant. get it fixed asap before it blow completely and you are stuck somewhere. Mine lasted almost week before i had the chance to take it in. I had to gamble with the timing...but you shouldnt!

Dear Oscypek; Yeah, about the coolant leak.. When your girlfriend and I were gettin' busy in the car the other week (remember when you were out of town?), her knee hit the stick and accidently put it in reverse, and frankly, my eyes were rolling into the back of my head at that point (how does she do that with no hands, anyway?) - my floot slipped of the brake and onto the accelerator. The car got stuck on the curb behind us, and well, we were way too busy to stop for a while longer. BTW, since you were still out of town the next day I came over to your place. After another great round together your girlfriend cooked me the best meal! Well, I couldn't help myself - I just had to finish up that six pack of Guinness in the fridge. So sorry about that - I'll be glad to repay you for the Guinness.

Good one!

We need Pics of your girlfriend and your car to properly diagnose the situation. (Tim, your slipping.....)

Good story! Could also be the coolant hoses, I have had mine replaced.

LOL. Nice. My dad tried that on me but substituted Porsche for bike.

i second that... ONLY A PIC of the problem of the car and YOUR GIRLFRIEND will we be able to come to the proper diagnosis.......

I guess a pic of your girlfriend with coolant running down her might just might give us a 2 for 1!

Guiness is sold in 4- packs, no?

I hate you ...................... JK!!!! That was pretty funny

I had the same issue- with the coolant tank, that is. It's a common problem. I discovered that the coolant expansion tank replacement is a matter of when, not if, with 996's. I ordered the new tank and new cap from Sunset. Just to check ( a suggestion from this forum), I first replaced the cap, which has a new design, and a different part number than the old one- if the part number ends in 01, you've got the new one. I didn't- my 1999 had the old design cap. There's an overflow "gulley" around the cap, with a drain tube leading down to the ground. I put the new one on (had to add about 1 cup of distilled H2O to get the level correct), and since then, no leaks at all, even after some stop and go driving in recent warm weather and traffic, which made the temp guage move slightly up. Highway speeds- needle right back to 12 o'clock. No loss of coolant at all since the switch, the level has remained the same. So for now, that solved my problem. But I'm keeping the new tank, as it WILL need to be replaced eventually. The cap may solve your problem, or the tank may indeed have cracked. I would try the cap first. Good Luck!

very funny

A man goes to a shrink and says, "Doctor, my wife is unfaithful to me. Every evening, she goes to Larry's bar and picks up men. In fact, She sleeps with anybody who asks her! I'm going crazy. What do you think I should do?" "Relax," says the Doctor, "take a deep breath and calm down. Now, tell me, exactly where is Larry's bar?"

All in good fun.. of course, I've never met you, or your girlfriend. Though if she looks anything like in the pic below, I'd love to meet her someday. You, on the other hand - it depends - stocked the fridge back up yet? - Nick

Could it be the RMS leaking coolant? j/k

If you notice something leaking down from the rear of your girlfriend....that might be a clue. Boulder Nick, what's my wife doing in your car?

OMG....nice steering wheel on that red coupe....nice leather work too! Hey Fletch...good seeing you today. Change your signature...you've got the new EVO intake now

are you sure it was a coolant leak??? Or was it your girlfriend and her new boyfriend getting it on on the back of your P??? and he had to "leave church before the singing started".....and created a "coolant-leak-looking-you-know-what!!"

lol its too funny how some people took it seriously... o and turbo 138
