Posted: Wed Jan 09, 2013 2:39 pm Post subject: Losing Radiator Coolant |
|
|
I have a 1997 e39 with 125,000 miles. About 2 months ago I noticed that I was a little low on coolant. I refilled it, but now it seems that I'm losing more fluid. I checked the radiator, hoses, water pump and no leak. The car runs great, temperature gauge is normal, no over heating. Under the car, I found coolant leaking from the front of the engine block, right below the vibration damper. Any thoughts on where this leak is? |

I feel like I'm talking to myself, but the leak was from the water pump. I couldn't see the leak until I took the fan and belts off. I changed the water pump yesterday, and it took me about 3 hours. Drove the car yesterday and today and it no more leak. |
