I have a 1999 Porsche Boxster. I recently noticed a fluid leak on the floor of my garage where I park the Boxster. The leak appears to be coming from the cap on the coolant reservoir located in trunk. Last week I brought the car to the tecnician that works on my car. The technician removed approximately 1 pint of coolant. The reading on the reservoir was between recommeded max and min. Yesterday the red idiot light flashing came on. Drove car home and parked it, checked for leakage under car, and found none. This morning I checked reservoir and found it was below the min. mark by approximately what the technician had removed. It, again, appeared as though there was leakage around the reservoir cap. Is the cap the reason for the leakage or is this possiby a sympton of a larger problem?

Thanks,
Marc

It is easy to pressure test the cap to be sure. Ask your mechanic or a local parts store to test it. If it blows off before the specified pressure, replace it.
