Hope everybody had nice Christmas Holidays.

please watch the Pictures. This is what i found today when i wanted to check the oil level. What is your First guess? I looks like coolant but I cant figure out from where its coming

What does it taste like?

Given the fact that most of it is concentrated in the back right area of the engine bay, I'd suspect the coolant overflow reservoir. They have a propensity to crack.

Looks like it might be getting flung back by the radiator fan, possibly from somewhere further forward. Looks to be a non-turbo (right?), so that leaves the alternator plumbing and not sure if anything else runs to that side. Could be the coolant lines that run through the valley over the starter etc too?

I have two small leaks from those two sources, FWIW.

It’s a Turbo engine. I could inspect today at daylight. I would say it’s coming definitely from the front. There is dry coolant around the throttle body area.

Should be easy to track down if you pressurize the system, most auto parts stores loan the tool out.

here in Germany it’s different. They dont loan it out to customers.

Not in my 957 but something very similar occurred in my wife's Panamera 4.8S May be very similar if not the same issue. I included videos in the post.

thank you Mike. I guess you are pointing to the right spot. This **** plastic tubes everywhere:-(

if I take away the throttle body equipment I should be able to get a camera inside underneath the intake manifold.

I will report what is going on
Thank you !

Glad to help brother. I lived in Erlangen working for AREVA and sent allot of time in Bamberg. This is where my 968 and the euro plate on my Cayenne is from.

Cheers and happy fixing. Mike
