Loosing coolant

My Cayenne S 2004 is loosing coolant, lots of it.
I checked and all the hoses are fine, the coolant recipeint is fine too.
Looking under the car I see a lot of coolant coming in between the gearbox and engine.

Are there any hard to find hoses Im missing?

I've seen a lot of comments about coolant tube replacements on another forum.

could also be a leaking pump.

Also, there's a bulletin asking dealers to replace the square sealing rings between the tubes and the pump with o'rings.

You have a 2008, question was regarding a 2004. Different setup. Very likely it is the coolant pipes, as already stated multiple times. Most often, when the pump fails it is due to a noisy bearing, and doesn't leak coolant, but it does happen.

Mine dumped all my coolant from my wifes car. Luckily I still have/had my extended warantee and it was fixed at dealers expense. From what I understand this is a common problem...
