Hi guys this is my first post. After a spirited drive back from work last night I noticed coolant leaking from the left side of the engine bay just above the exhaust. After som furture inspection I realised to my reliefe it wasn't coming from the cylinder head Phew !!! All hoses seem fine, and it looks to be leaking directly from the expansion tank. Only does it when it hot and system is under pressure, a slow constant drip. I have heard of cracks occuring in the expansion tanks on the 996. Any Idea's, I may change it ASAP if that's the case.

Coverage and how to read this overview
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.
