Coolant leak, naybe

[Seattle squash]

I feel like I loose some coolant on the RS. Must be minor if so because no smell, nothing under car, oil is clean and clean exhaust output. I did install a new reservoir with a Porsche cap which is slightly loose but seems to get seated when fluid/air warms up. It drops about 1/3 court every 2-3 months. Any known issues with this? Thanks guys! Also, would typically get under it right away but dealing with a potential back surgery so trying to limit my time under car. So, will likely need to take it in but curious first what you guys experienced.[/QUOTE]

First thing is really to look under the motor for white/pinkish spots. The belly pan does a good job of making you think the car doesn't leak anything until it's bad enough. That small of a leak could be lots of things honestly...

If the lid don't fit tight from the get go then this my be the answer and you need to sort this out.

Ok thanks, guess I might go back to the ugly lid again... And see if it stops/slows down, and check it out more during the next oil change.

So - fixed. Porsche cap fine. Slight leak from return T-hose and lower radiator hose, so both new/replaced. Perfect now my buddy at NTX Premier auto in Plano/Dallas hooked me up as always. And I keep telling him that he does not charge me enough. Clutch likely coming up within the year for this one and my Bmw and I know where to take it.

You're lucky to have a good local mechanic that doesn't charge something close to $100/hr while still fucking up your car.
