Absolutely, this forum is to address our concerns and so we are going to hear about problems, or potential problems. There will be certain bias. My car's front is GT3 and rear from 997.2. It looks great, no doubt, and improving its appearance could be the sole reason for modifications. But then again, maybe not. No experience with a Ferrari, but visiting a shop every other month seems a little excessive to me for a car driven 30 miles a day at average 27 mph. In either case, let's hope the Porsche CPO covers the leak!

if had the same problem. i replaced all of the coolant hoses since it was my second leak and i had to drop the engine anyways due to the leak location. you should do other service while engine is out if you can, costs a little more up front but will save you in the long run. easy labor on spark plug change w/ engine out.

Good idea. I will check with the shop when the plugs have been changed last time.

Good so far.

ssj4, thanks for posting that detailed description of the problem. It helped me out in fixing my own car. Looks like mine started leaking again so I think I will be droping my engine soon. I need to check my plugs and a couple of other stuff.
