Steve, thanks for the tips. I got a pair of those pliers after the boxster trans job.

Looks to not be the expansion tank. After some more digging, my '03 should have the later one that doesn't yellow (and mine isn't.) I took the filter/MAF housing off to see better. When I dump water in, it pours out VERY quickly. The bottom of the tank/lines are staying dry. Water is pouring out all over the top of the driver side bank. There are 3 lines that come off the water pump that disappear under the manifold. One of them must have popped off or split. Going to fire up the borescope and see if I can thread that back in there. Wonder if the engine has to drop to get to it.
