Well here we are again with a 991.2GTS with little to no coolant visible.

Previously, in May last year, it went back to the OPC to get the water pump replaced as Silverstone found it was faulty. Low coolant and the engine temp running hot when just pottering around. In October I noticed the level was again at minimum. They apparently thought it was an air lock and topped it up asking me to keep an eye on it. Yesterday I noticed a pool of under the engine had appeared - just in front of the rear axel on the drivers side in case that rings any bells. Needless to say the coolant was at minimum again and barely visible.

It's back at Silverstone but if it's had a new waterpump and I'm assuming a thorough inspection before they sent it back out, I can't think what's caused it to wee itself.

Fun :/
 
Well, in their own words from the invoice:

"Investigate Coolant loss, No external leaks Suspect air lock pushed coolant out
and dropped. Carried out Coolant bleed topped up and pressure tested now all ok"

Maybe they can get it right this time?
