I replaced my water pump a couple years ago with a Laso brand $250. Now im getting regular coolant loss like half the min to max mark i dont put on a lot of miles, i can smell it and im getting a couple of drips from the pump area. I wonder do i have a bad pump again.

Buy an OE Porsche water pump from Sunset and ask for your Renntech discount. Replace the gaskets too. This is a good time to do the thermostat and serpt belt too. Make sure your blue cap is the updated version ending in part # "04".

I recently bought an updated .04 coolant cap from Sunset. To my surprise, it was black.

Earlier versions of the coolant cap were also blue so you have to verify that the part number on the cap ends in .04.

OK, but, this make no sense. If the are "old and worn" how can they still be "good"? How old are the front tires? If more than 4-5 years old, regardless of mileage and wear pattern, they are hard, and should replaced with matching tires to your rear.
