How does the coolant tank work on a Porsche Boxster?
Six separate coolant hoses feed into the tank, with three of them internal to the tank mechanism itself. The hoses from the tank feed into an integrated manifold on the engine bulkhead that is manufactured out of plastic and is prone to breaking. In addition, the plastic tank itself often cracks with age and leaks coolant in the trunk compartment.

How can I tell if my coolant reservoir is leaking?
A quick way to know for sure if it’s the coolant reservoir, just pull the right side of the trunk liner up. There will be coolant under it if the reservoir is leaking. :cheers: Cooland Indicator light came on today. My 2001 Porsche Boxster S is leaking coolant from the right rear wheel well.
