997 Turbo coolant leak

well after my rebuild i noticed after every drive a puddle of coolant under the car , i started freaking out checking as many things as possible .... i then realized coolant had accumulated on the engine mount which was the first hint at a high point so above that the reservoir which i was hoping didn't crack so after looking rinsing etc i noticed white residue around the cap to find......... a nice little crack .....

from my understanding they sell an updated version ....

My advice : Preventive maintenance $22.00 is worth it I'm at 80k miles so every little thing i see which looked or looks in any way worn has been changed ...

Sorry to hear that Matty. I get nervous myself every time i drive. I seem to keep smelling a hit of coolant coming from the side vents. Yet i dont see any puddles or drips on the ground. Im thinking i have a tiny leak that is being burned before it hits the ground while driving.
