Coolant Leak Mystery
I'm at the end of my 944 85.5 n/a project car and darn if I can find where the coolant is leaking from... Exits from the flywheel inspection hole, but just can't see if it is slipping past a hose clamp from above, as all new hoses so this seems easy. A small amount on the garage floor the next day. Gotta love this one, any thoughts before I fork over money for a pressure tester?
Had the car on the lift, but can't see anything special. Was hoping this would go away, but just can't ignore any longer. Does this ring a bell with any other GPO's??? |

These can crack and leak. If you're getting coolant out the flywheel inspection hole then you may want to fix this ASAFP because the coolant will destroy the clutch.

Danke! Ordered a kit today, replacing hoses and the valve. Sure don't want to go through that clutch change again. The spline on that shaft was meant for a truck! I seen firsthand how Porsche started off making tractors and somewhere down the line they still kept the same engineers.
