Myy 944 just dropped it's coolant onto a friend's driveway. Couldn't see where it was coming from. Topped up and drove to local Porsche specialist. When I got there it was below minimum again. He topped it up and ran it but couldn't find an obvious problem. Said I should keep it topped up and keep an eye on it till we can get it pressure tested and all sorts.

I am very frightened of a big bill! All the rad looks fine and hoses etc. When I looked underneath the drivers side it was difficult to see where else it could be coming from cos it was all over the plastic undertray, but the nearest component with a belt round it looked wet. I am assuming this is the water pump. Is this looking like a big problem? Any advice or reasurance at this point?!

Also, you may have seen my previuos posts about the central dashboard warning light being on but with no other lights for a clue. Does this mean I've found the answer, or would a coolant level issue not bother the central warning lamp?

Thanks, a very worried Jon

I had a similar problem. Water was being used very quickly. I was sure that it was a head gasket and big bills.

Turned out to be a radiator that was leaking only under pressure. Get the coolant system pressure tested at 15psi.

Good luck.

Needs undertray dropped to investigate. Could be anything TBH.

Have u changed the oil filter recently? Had a silmer case, was the tiny hose from the pump 2 the hard line.

air cooled.................................always a good option, but good luck with your problem.

May be nothing serious. Had a loose hose clip on mine after the cold weather. Caused a degree of panic at the time.....
