996 AND 997 coolant fittings

[Phokaioglaukos]

The leak will come. My street GT3 leaked at the Glen and the cup car at Thunderbolt. It's hassle, and the right fix is to weld the parts--which is not that easy as one piece is much lighter gauge than the other so you need someond good.

The cup cars spec a dilute solution of coolant and water. At Thunderbolt the spillage evaporated rapidly and there was no issue. At the Glen I had the street car spec undiluted coolant and water, and I was lucky that the leak was on pit in and then in the garage.

Those with the true dry sump motors should fix this issue preemptively, or run water only or dilute coolant.
