Hey guys,
Before I tear this thing apart and spend money just wanted to ask a few questions. 1998 328i vert with M52.
The front section of the engine has a slow coolant leak, notice it on the ground when the car sits after a drive.
Checked all around radiator and hoses, all dry. The leak shows itself on the front rim of the oil pan, runs unto the sway bar and leaks on the ground. Its slow since I've had no noticeable drop in coolant amount lately, maybe a small bit.
Felt under the stat cover and its dry, also no wet spot on top of the water pump. Could not see under the water pump, but the crankshaft pulley does not show any wet spots, which is where I assume the coolant would leak onto. I also felt under the hose that goes from behind the water pump housing to the firewall to the heater (I think), it was also dry underneath.
Recently I removed and replaced the oil filter housing gasket (and its still leaking) and did not notice any coolant leaks at the time (none on the ground either).
Anything else I should check or am I missing something? Next step is a pressure check but I got to find a fitting that works on BMWs.
Thanks gents...
