So does the red/pink just mean any G12 coolant/antifreeze will do e.g. Mobil advanced ? :?

That's what I'm using as it's Porsche approved. I must find out whether it's the cap that's leaking or something more serious :([/i:0tYR8MtjNK]

Hi Gary, not a great deal actually. Probably only about 1/2 litre every couple of weeks, no visible signs of leakage. I think it's evaporating through a dodgy cap as I'm sure it would be more noticable if I've got a split hose, holed radiator etc.
