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.

Not so long ago I had the same problem in the same area. It turned out to be just a split hose which a new jubilee clip soon solved.
Hopefully yours will be just as straightforward

had a trip down to local private porsche repairer and they rekon the header tank will be the problem as the crack will open up under pressure and spray coolant in any direction. if you can get a little hand under the tank the underneath is wet? shouldnt be tooo expensive he says...... watch this space.

I've had this problem, makes you want to buy a 993. Sans the water, sans the water problems!
I was driving the other day and a 993 C2 went past me "flat chat". Although I love the sound of my watercooled 996, there is definitely something special about those aircooled motors when getting pushed hard.
