Default 996 engien failure

Hey guys, I have the same kind of problem. I am eating coolant as welll. And i dont know where it goes. I took it to porsche and they said there is moisture/coolant in cylinder one. The engine light flashes on startup and stays on after that. There is no oil in the coolant tank, but i think there is coolant in the oil because i drained the oil and it was very thick and black. Any ideas what the problem could be? i was thinking cracked head or blow head gasket. Any pointers would be great... thanks!

See this thread. the same pertains to your situation. These engines simply do not blow head gaskets, they have all the symptoms of a blown gasket to those that lack the direct experience with the M96 to know they simply do not fail. The head gaskets are the most effective part of these engines.
