1schoir's post in Convertible Top Drain Pan Hose Replacement was marked as the answer
It's a straightforward repair but you will have to remove the convertible top and frame to get proper access to remove the drain tray.
Once you remove the drain tray, you will see a small teacup-like shaped "funnel" to which the drain hose is attached. You will have to have access from the bottom as well so that you can properly route the new hose.
I'm wondering how you determined that you need a new drain hose. If there is a leak in that area, it's most often caused by a crack in the "teacup" or the hose has become detached from it.

1schoir's post in Oil leaks in a 2000 S? was marked as the answer
Some Porsche OEM coolant actually looks "pinkish-red".
If there is a drop of it on the floor, touch a tiny speck of it to your tongue and see it if is "sweet". If it is, it's coolant. Be sure to spit it out and flush your mouth with water afterwards! :eek:

1schoir's post in Seat Heater Relay was marked as the answer
To remove the rivet, you have to push out the inner plastic rod that sits inside the plastic rivet body.
Here is a photo of the seat heater relay, bracket and rivet.
Use a pick tool to press it out from either direction, as shown by the arrows in the photo:
The little inner plastic rod will pop out, and you can retrieve it and use it again for re-installation of the bracket.
BTW, if you are going to permanently swap the relay, you will have to flip the bracket around 180 degrees to get it to fit properly on that side.
