2004 X5 4.4i Fluid leaking from the front passenger wheel well......
So I was out driving the X5 running errands last night and got home and parked it in the drive way and came back out later that night and noticed a few puddles of some sort of fluid on the ground along the right side. Great another issue with the X. Figured I check the engine bay for anything major but couldnt see anything. The filler cap appears to have a slight leak but nothing for the amount that was on the ground. Probably replace that as the seal could be going bad. But anyways checked the transmission cooler as that was the last thing I touched as it was leaking coolant so I replaced the o-rings but that looked fine. After laying there for a bit I dont think it coming from the engine bay as it seems like its all over the wheel wells only front and rear but mainly up front. Looked inside where the wheel well attaches to and dont see anything coming from inside. Checked the brake lines and that looks fine as well. Only other thing I can think of is the front shock?
So my question is there anything else that is around that area that could cause a massive leak? Figured it got onto my tires and is why its all over the wheel well trailing back along the side of the runners and to the rear tire and on the wheel well in the rear but more up front. The fluid splash on the wheel well is the exact size of the tire so its only in that area no where else if that makes sense.
