No, not on this one.

What sort of warranty did they give?

Three months. It's a seven year old car, not expecting much of a warranty.

Better than nothing though, provided it is worth more than the paper it's written on.

Washed the daily

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Freed up  the seized handbrake mechanism on the o/s rear caliper on sons Civic.

Removed the front bumper, air scoops and other plastic bits from the Boxster to try and trace a slight coolant leak.
I can smell coolant from the front when its had a decent run and the level is slowly dropping.
Got it nice and hot, left the engine running and got under it with a torch.
Had a good long look at everything  - rads, hoses, hose clamps, metal coolant pipes. Couldnt see anything suggesting a leak, or telltale signs of previous leaking.
No idea what to do now. 
Ive already pressure tested it to around 2 bar with not so much as a drip.

Radiator?

Buy a cheap chemical head gasket check kit from Amazon that will eliminate one thing at least 👍

Radiator?

Theres two of them. One almost new, one original. sit behind the front bumper. I took the bumper off so I could have a good look at them and associated hoses, clamps etc.
Everything seems to be dry as a bone.

Coolant smell is definitely from the front, where the rads and hoses are.
Engine is in the middle.
