Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suspected cause
If it sounds like a vacuum cleaner most likely the Secondary Air Injector pump(SAI).
Leading evidence: 'secondary air injector pump(sai)' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'secondary air injector pump(sai)' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check coolant cap' (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.

Check your coolant cap for tightness, and I mean really tight.

Suggestion · Original poster
Anyway, I have a strange leak that is very minor but I am seeing if it is the coolant reservoir that was replaced before me buying it.

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.

Welcome to the group! You probably already know, you can find anything about your car here. And if it's not here, you'll find many here who are willing to help figure it out. Have fun with the new wheels!
Thank you all for the answer. Never heard of this either. I do not even see where it has a display in the car to read the temperature outside. Anyway, I have a strange leak that is very minor but I am seeing if it is the coolant reservoir that was replaced before me buying it. It is in the rear next to tire on the drivers side over the exhaust pipes apparently. This but a bit viscous watery fluid. Also, upon cold starts the car makes a strange sound when in the drivers seat until it warms up, say like 5 minutes then goes away. Is this common?
What? My 99 C2 displays the outside temp in the digital screen in the bottom of the tach, and that same display shows my speed. Do you perhaps have the optional toggle switch on the steering wheel surround that allows you to toggle through the display settings? Check your coolant cap for tightness, and I mean really tight. The coolant overflow pipe runs down that side of the engine, actually it is a hose pointing downward. Your cap should be blue with a P/N ending in 04. Where do you think the strange sound is coming from...engine, cabin? The secondary air injection pump runs at first cold start and the sound can be described as a small vacuum cleaner whine.
He may not have the computer option and the dealer may not have activated the Temp in the gauge, which was off by default. I have the temp showing but no fourth stalk. Many dealers activated the temp reading as a courtesy for those without the option. I believe it can be enabled using a Durametric.
According to my Bentley manual, there are actually three temp sensors that help the A/C system.
1. Outside temp, under the front bumper on the passenger side.
2. Inside temp, passenger side of dash, under the round plastic grate.
3. Intake air temp, from the pic seems to be connected to the air box.
Please describe the sound or record and post here. If it sounds like a vacuum cleaner most likely the Secondary Air Injector pump(SAI). Should shut off within 1.5 to 2 minutes.
