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.

i parked next to a 996 the other day and there was a small amount of anti freeze under his car and a smell like it was going to over heat or something.this happened to my boxster s ,but it was coming off lease and was not under warranty,so i never had it looked at.
is this a major problem that contributes to engine failure? can someone please(in dummy terms)explain this and is there any relation to this and rms..
is it that risky to buy a 996 without warranty?i have a 3.2...it is like a tank.little things have gone but so far nothing to be concered about.
thanks,j
Well, it's a somewhat common problem on the 996. It is typically the coolant expansion tank, I think there was actually a TSB on it, but I might be wrong. Either way, it happened to me and it has happened to many other people on the forum.
Is it risky, well there are definitly risks on buying a car off warranty. I think you can minimize these risks by doing a fair bit of reaserch on the car before had. Never buy a car that you don't know the history on. If the dealer says he will not provide the service records, then walk away, there are tons of other cars out there. Also, don't assume that the PPI will find all the problems.
