Description of the problem	While driving the car on track, a coolant fitting broke loose and dumped all the antifreeze down onto the track surface. A vehicle on track behind me ran over the antifreeze, lost control and skidded off the track. The driver of the other car wasn't injured and there didn't appear to be much damage to his car, except perhaps some scuffing of the paint on his front bumper. The fitting that came loose is one of 8 fittings that porsche glued into place when they originally built the engine of my 04 gt3. When the glue gets old it lets go, and that's what happened to me. I had to flat bed the car from the track to a repair shop, pay them to drop the engine, completely disassemble all the coolant manifolds that use these glued-in fittings, bring the manifolds to a welding shop, have the welding shop weld all the fittings into place, and then have my repair shop reassemble the entire engine and re-install in the car. This resulted in a considerable expense, and the loss of use of my car for a couple of months while this work was being performed, waiting on parts to arrive, etc. I have pictures of the fittings that had to be welded, while my engine was still in pieces during the repair process.
