    Coolent Leak on 99' 996 Carrera

    I have a 99' 996 and today after driving home from a friends house there was a lot of coolent leaking from the left rear of the engine from the bottom side of the left rear tail pipe. My friend is a Porsche technician here in southern california for Newport Auto Center and he told me that it was the coolent tank that needs to be replaced. He is going to check the car out later today. anyone else have this problem? or what could be the cause for this.

    Re: Coolent Leak on 99' 996 Carrera

    I had a similair problem with my 2000 GT3 which turned out to be the hoses.

    Porsche had a "recall" to replace all the hoses if a customer experianced any problems, so I would check to see if your car had the hoses replaced sometime in its past before changing the coolant tank.

    P.

    I also had the same problem in my 99 C2 coupe. Luckily it happened earlier under warranty. I was told by my customer service rep that it was a common problem with the early 996s (plastic tank would crack). He also told me that the replacement to it was modified to avoid future mishaps.

    Checking the hoses should be the first priority, Paul is right. Maybe you're lucky.
