Hi all, just picked up my first Porsche and after about 2,000 miles the car just leaked this fluid underneath itself. I have an appointment with a shop on Monday, and I brought it to them yesterday for a quick glance and they said it's likely power steering fluid. So we filled the reservoir back up and the leak has gone away completely which makes me think it's something else. The issue is this is my only car for the time being and I need to make it until Monday (4 more days). As you can see from the photos, the fluid is pink and from feeling it, it is very slimy. The puddle you see in the photo is all of it leaked out, which leads me to believe it likely isn't coolant (hopefully). I've since driven the car maybe 50 miles and it drives fine, I haven't accelerated hard but I can tell that the car still has power and there are no weird noises or smells coming from it. Once I noticed the leak, I started the car up to see if it would get worse and it decided to drop the black fluid in the mix that you can see from the photos - not a pretty sight, but it stopped leaking after that. You can also see the the leak seems to have started from high pressure given the explosive state all over the engine and pipes. Any ideas what I might be dealing with? I need to drive the car a couple more times before it goes into the shop, but I also don't want to run the risk of seriously damaging something.

UPDATE: The car has started leaking again roughly 24 hours since filling up the power steering reservoir...

 

pink is probably coolant, and darker fluid could be oil. When I removed my engine, I had oil puddle on top front of the engine by the oil tank. However oil traveled towards the back of the engine, and oil residue appeared in the back, by the exhaust. For a second I thought my FMS was leaking, but once I removed the engine I found the source.

Power steering fluid is dark gray / green. Below is a picture of pentosin after I removed my engine

 

Seems odd why it would fall in the exact same spot as the other fluid though, does it not? And only upon start up? Oil levels are fine as well, I should mention. Also, if it was coolant, wouldn't it be a consistent leak until empty? No way that small of a leak is all the coolant in the car... and why would it stop and then restart again?

 

don't be surprised. In my case my coolant was leaking from inside the turbocharger secondary coolant pump connector. it not always to usual suspect aka fittings or elbows lol
