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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Hi I am already fairly sure I know the answer to this but just need a bit of help with it, i have a 1998 996 C2 Cab- just noticed a strange stain on the floor of the garage just under the off side of the front wheel arch?? it looks to me like a coolent leak and I know the radiators are under this section. can anyone give me some tips on getting the bumper of to view where the leak may be comming from- hopefully it could be just a hose?? Thanks in advance for a great forum. Adrian
