Description of the problem	My 911 turbo suffered a coolant system failure, as has been well documented for this particular engine, the gt1 3. 6 liter in the 2001-2007 turbo, gt2 and gt3. I was driving on the highway when i noticed smoke coming from the rear of the car. Upon pulling to a stop the car had dumped most of its coolant. It was flat-bedded to the dealer and the steel coolant pipe had pulled out of the aluminum water socket/cross over tube on the driver's side of the engine. They drained the cooling system, replaced the water socket and associated seals and filled and bled the cooling system. The failure results from the use of epoxy to attach the coolant pipe to the socket instead of a hard-threaded design like porsche uses on the race version of this engine. This failure will occur again in the future, as the repair uses the very same epoxy, at which time i am likely to be out of warranty and several thousand dollars.
