Hello,

The car is 1998 carrera 996.

The problem is that the car mixes oil with coolant.

At first i replaced the oil-cooler, that didn't solved the problem.

Now the engine is parted out from the car, the head sent for check and i just can't find out where it leaks from !

Please help,

Sahar.

It could be a porous engine block. This was a big problem with early M96 engines and seems to have struck my 2000 Boxster S engine. My engine was replaced under warranty after a cappuccino-like mixture overflowed from the cooling system. They also replaced the radiators, heater, heat exchanger and all the plumbing.
