As I recall the cooling fans on my old 996TT used to be running all the time. Heard my old car tonight and the fans were not running at all for some time on idle then eventually only one side started running. Any thoughts as to why?

Also upon checking the expansion tank it was below the minimum mark (although no warning lights on dash). No obvious signs of water leakage but neverthless a hint of an antifreezy type smell from the front end of the car.... saying that it has been stood for a while unused. New rads fitted (all 3) about 4 years ago, also grills to protect the rads from stones. Most likely cause of the water loss.... Leaking rad??

The fans only run continuously if the A/C is on.
