slow leak

[uimtiaz]

Hi all,

In my 99 C2, I noticed some coolant dripping on the driver side exhaust tip. after looking up coolant leak topics on this forum I am thinking that I may have a cracked coolant reservoir tank.

The car also over heats in stop and go traffic but on the highway it is fine. Do you guys think that the water pump may be involved as well.

thanks

umar

Do a little more research here and consider the possibility the cap is leaking.

If your blue cap part number ends in 01 you have the newer cap that does not leak (at least rarely). If the cap part number ends in 00 then you need to replace the cap (weather the tank is leaking or not).

If not the cap then check the hose on the bottom side of the end and near the tank on that side of the car. Finally if all hose look good then you likely need to do a tank replacement - about 1.5 hours average. There is a DIY in the DIY 996 Common Fixes forum. Good Luck!
