Cayenne leaking coolant

[tincup418]

Hi all,

I was driving down a road and hit a dip on the road (dip was from road conditions). My wife and I heard the hit as being pretty hard. We kept driving for another 3-4 miles until I see my car inform me to check coolant levels. It then started to smoke. We did manage to get the car back to our house. I checked around and saw a broken upper radiator hose. I got that replaced thinking I've fixed the problem because I didn't see any leak when I poured the coolant back into the radiator tank on the side. I did drive it about 1/2 mile around the block. But when I pulled back into my drive way, there was a big trail of fluid. So my leak isn't fixed.

What else should I be looking for? 2006 Porsche Cayenne, base model.

Thank you,

In my case the leak was on passenger side, that plastic flange does not hold up to hot ethylene glycol...
