Leak - Need advice

I found this leak this morning. Driver's side in front of wheel. Looks like some kind of radiator. What do I need to fix now?

You'll need to pull the front bumber and replace the radiator.

It's not that uncommon on these and is covered under warranty, if you still have one.

thanks, just got one from AutoAtlanta. Life of porsche ownership has begun. No warranty so I will fix myself.

Any tips from anyone who has done this?

Is it common to have both sides go at the same time? Pull out of garage and there was leaking from the exact location on the other side. ^&$^$%$$#

Bummer! Whatever failed on one side is likely happening on the other. Makes sense becuase the original parts are identical.
