Coolant condensate on trunk lid

Hi

After a long (2 day) drive, I noticed come condensate on the underside of the trunk lid, in the area over the coolant filler.

I wiped it off, and so far it hasn't returned, but I haven't driven the car much since then,

Coolant level is OK, and the car never gets above about 185 on the temp guage.

Is thgis normal?

Thanks

You'll probably need a new coolant cap - Porsche has revised it numerous times. I had the same issue, and got the new cap, and that fixed it.

I had the same problem, replaced with updated cap but didn't fix it. Bought a new bleed valve (comes with new screws & 2 o rings) & fitted, problem went away. If you try this fix be careful with the screws, they can easily eat up the plastic of the coolant tank housing!
