hi, was wondering if someone could help,was driving the car today and all of a sudden the dash warning came on "low coolant" , a very short distance - 15km,later i got home the guage never went up to hot , in fact it stayed in the center the whole time , so no over heating occured, when i looked under the car the a/freeze was coming out of one of the 2 holes in the (what looks like a bell housing to me)the holes are only about 1/4 " in diameter, its confusing to me because it seems there is no a/freeze hoses near ...any thoughts...thanks

The coolant pipes that run under the intake manifold are a problem on the V8 engines. Porsche has issued a TSB and updated parts to correct this fault.

In fact TSB's are a help for the network (kind of workshop manual), it shows what to do and how, but are not by definition warranty covered. Do a search, this water tube subject is covered frequently here.
