Hi All, Having been a multiple Porsche owner for years (944's) I took the plunge & became the proud owner of a 2001 C4 Tiptronic last December. My initial impressions are fab, however recently when parking in my garage I noticed a sweet smell emanating from the nearside rear wheel arch. When I checked a few small oil drops were seen, however I took the car out a few days ago & checked as soon as I got back & a small amount of coolant was dripping onto the exhaust & evaporating. I have decided not to drive the car until I get some expert advice. The car came with a warranty but I am not sure if this would be covered.....has anyone else had a similar problem? Thanks Paul

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.
