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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Newbie here. Purchased a 2002 996 turbo two months ago. Drove the car from PA to MD and no issues. I noticed today it started leaking coolant (rear driver�s side) after I went for a drive with the AC running . I can only see it on that side and most likely is the coolant expansion tank, but wanted to make sure since this is my first 996. Thanks. Update: I see coolant from other places. Need to lift the car to see if it comes from a different place. Looks like coolant to me and not oil on the other spots.

Yep sounds like the tank, and if you have no records its time for a waterpumvp and thermostat.... Also inspect for the integrity of the coolant lines on the engine,, search for "pin coolant line turbo"
