Meh. After a relatively trouble-free existence with my X5 for quite a while now. It looks like I've got some sort of coolant leak. After pulling the X out of the garage this morning, I noticed a couple spots of the on the garage floor morning that turns out to be coolant.
I peep under the car and there's a little blue drip hanging from the rear of the inspection hole in the stiffening-plate. Grrrrr. I am not going to get a chance to look at it until late tonight at the earliest. For now it's just gonna drive me f'ing crazy.....
Man, I hope it's not that damn kidney pan in the bell housing. I don't think that's a cheap fix....
I replaced the valley pan and rear accessible only heater hose right at 2 years ago along with all of the coolant hoses and fixed up a couple o-rings in some of the other fittings.
The water pump I am very certain was replaced at some point prior to my ownership.
Maybe I can get lucky with this thing and it's an easy fix. I checked the coolant level and all looks good so it hasn't leaked that much. I did notice I'd be adding a few ounces of coolant a couple
tmes a year.
