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.

Any ideas before I haul myself under the car for a good look, only changed the oil a few weeks back and didn't notice anything then.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have developed what looks like a very minor coolant leak which appears as a few drips on the floor pretty much under the area of the oil filter housing. Only really leaks as the car cools down after running, nothing when car is running. Had a look from the top and also looks damp around the area where the oil dip stick enters the engine? Not sure this is connected. Any ideas before I haul myself under the car for a good look, only changed the oil a few weeks back and didn't notice anything then.

POST 2Original post

Have a look around your oil cooler. It's the thing that looks like a rusty oil biscuit tin sat on top of the engine at the front driver's side. Look for pink candy floss type residue around it. Mines leaked round there before but can recrystalise and seal it up again. Location as seen top left above the flywheel:

Thanks, I had that cover below the oil cooler leak on my old boxster looking at the picture.
