Leading evidence: 'Check levels' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check levels' (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.

Suggestion
If the layout is anything like the air-cooled, it could be that the flow or returns is fractured, which could be worse to repair than a radiator.

Suggestion
I think you will find that on air-cooled Porches, the oil flow and return feeds run along the drivers side (r/h/d) of the car to the radiator which is mounted within the front wing.

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.

Hi to everyone
Picked up my first Porsche at the end of Jan, an arena red 996 C2 with a GT3 body, apart from a new battery, thanks to this forum, I found out how to stop the bloody alarm going off when I disconnected the old one..;-), and a slow puncture in the front drivers side, all was going well.
Now however, I have discovered a lime green coloured fluid dripping from under the car, from under the drivers door side...doesn't really smell of much, maybe a bit like hay? Thought it maybe someting to do with the A/C or something, its not an oily consistency either.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers
Steve

Not sure it's that, this is a real light lime green colour, and is cold...had leaking rads before and it doesn't look like this stuff....

I'd assume that a similar layout would be used in the 996 although I think the radiators are further forward (never looked I'm afraid).
The reason I say this is that it may not be the radiator that is leaking. If the layout is anything like the air-cooled, it could be that the flow or returns is fractured, which could be worse to repair than a radiator.
Green fluid definately sounds like coolant to me and I'd track down the source ASAP. Have fun if the radiator is in the wing!

I am pretty sure its the pipes having seen the layout of them, it's only a small leak presently.
Its into Micheldever tyres tomorrow so I will take a look while its on the ramp..after that its in at Northway on the 17th, so everything will become clearer, and the expense!

And the winner is....
A/C pipe fractured by a stone...replacement £67 and a couple of hours labour....however, the drier? is u/s as well, so needed another of those...
