    i have coolant spraying out of my 02 cap on my 99 c2. i have replaced both radiators, added the third, changed the water pump changed the thermostat, changed the oil separator, changed the bottle and cap and i find that it starts to leak when i drive over 3k rpm. but no leaks if i drive under 3k. dealers thinks i need a new motor. but the motor drives well, idles fine, any ideas?

    The cap has been updated since your car was new. Check the last two digits of the part number printed on the cap. my cap end with 02. more water problems now.... hoses are popping off. i guess too much pressure? i'm removing my 3rd radiator and going back to stock form. its ridiculous but i cant be without a car and loose more work days because of it. ------- ok i switched the water pump again and that seemed to solve the hoses popping off but i think i need a new expansion tank as the coolant just pours out from it when there is pressure...a mechanic told me that the expansion tank is probably cross-threaded and that screws up any new cap that goes on it... we'll see

    still leaking but this time i got to see it...the cap on the expansion tank lets off coolant when its hot i guess because it is on very tight. is it a bad cap or are they supposed to do that at thigh pressure? that would mean the problem is somewhere else.

    turns out that my water pump was leaking and blew out. its at the dealership now so we'll see if thats all it was. they did say that 2 hoses also needed replacing.

    You might have air in the system, in which case the pressure relief system is opening and letting some coolant out. You might try removing all of the air from the system before making any radical changes. i leave the pin flat down when i drive, should i be keeping it up? also i took it to the dealer and they even flushed the system and refilled it with the vacuum method and it still looses about a liter a day. driving.

    after doing the 3rd radiator on my '99 996 i find that i keep having to fill coolant nearly everyday yet i never see water stain on the floor. i did see stains on the pluming under the motor, but i never see it drip. i fill maybe about 10 ounces a day. not only that but my temps have not gone down, as a matter of fact they went up it seems. on a typical california day now of 95 degrees outside my car can run as hot as the end of the 0 of the 180 mark on the temp gauge. does anyone have any recommendations before i switch back to the original setup? my bumper is open in the front and vented on top gt2 style.

    same problem here. porsche should def. have some kind of warranty on these things since it's not a normal wear and tear part like brakes. i dont know of any other car that gets this problem repeatedly. for now i'm living with it. its just annoying for other drivers when they think im going to turn but its really just flashing still from the last turn.
