Thanks for quick response.
The dealer replaced the water pump 8K miles ago and I don't want to screw around with it if not needed.
Between the coolant leak and a bunch of oil leaks, I am really disgusted with this vehicle. No one should have this many issues with 82K miles on a high end vehicle professionally maintained and garaged kept. I was going to purchase a new X5 but I decided that I am not going to reward BMW with another $70K for their "superior" engineering.
