I checked the coolant for exhaust gasses twice and it passed both times. Plus, there is no coolant in the oil...thanks to the Porsche gods. Anyway I just wanted to give some closure to this post since I hate when people don't get back with their solution/conclusions. Lesson for the day. Don't cheap out on parts. Especially when you have to take out the seats and remove the firewall to replace them. Thanks for the input folks.
