Re: Coolant Leak Boxster '00S

Sounds like it's not likely to be the tank. The max line on the tank is (I think) the highest it should be with the engine hot so (considering you added fluid the same morning) it is possible you simply overfilled the tank a bit. Another concern may be the water pump. Is the coolant dripping down just ahead (and inside) of the right rear tire? If so, check the water pump and related hoses.
