 Driving in a high performance driving event on a hot day going around a fast right hand turn and felt the car being a little loose then noticed the on board computer flashing low coolant. i slowed down and pulled in to a safe place to check the motor and saw a coolant j shaped press fitting completely popped out and dumping mass amounts of slippery coolant on the engine and rear tires. i popped the fitting back in and safety wired it so hopefully it will not come back out. replaced coolant fluid with new and burped the system.

 Porsche gt1 engine press fit coolant coupling failure. high pressure coolant coupler fails causing rapid loss of all coolant. this is not only a toxic hazard, but a safety concern on the road. further, loss of coolant jeapordizes engine life. the gt1 engine has 8 press fit couplings. so far, 2 different couplings have failed on my car. 1 on the heat exchanger, and 1 on the steering pump housing.

 Porsche gt1 engine press fit coupling for coolant lines. when coupling fails, there is rapid coolant loss which is a toxic hazard as well as potentially dangerous to traffic. also, without coolant the engine is in jeopardy of overheating.
