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.

Leading evidence: 'problem' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'problem' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

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

2002 996: Temperature is stable at just a tick over 180 F. It is always at this temperature after about 9 miles and just stays there. This is good. However, I had been getting warnings that coolant was low. I added a mix of the prescribed coolant with distilled water in to the reservoir. The warning went away. However after driving I notice a considerable amount of coolant leaking on the ground at the left rear corner of the car. The reservoir is now empty. However the warning doesn't come on and I have driving the car twice for distances just long enough for it to warm properly and the temperature is stable and the warnings don't come on. I do smell coolant when I park the car. I suspect a problem with just the reservoir or lines connecting it. Is there a good way to confirm? Pressure test? I wondered about the water pump but after the second time driving the car and the temperature remained stable and I saw no more leaking I think that this is unlikely. Any insights are appreciated.

POST 2Original post

Look around the lip of the reservoir and see if there is liquid in the low spots on top of the tank. My cap gave way a few weeks ago and I am still trying to make sure all is good. My cap was the .01 model, but the .04 is the newest. It could be more, but the cap is a good first check.

Thank you Jack. I'll look at that.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
