blktoptrvl: Thank you for posting pics and your find! I found exactly the same leak!

Obviously, mine had been "repaired" by the "BMW mechanic" PO. More like POS.

I ordered the part (and several others, as is the norm for this X) and temporarily fixed it with a 1/4' brass barbed tee from the hardware store. Also oriented the hoses in their correct position so as not to hit the throttle body.Should be fine until the parts show up.

Again, thank you for your post.
