Well...... I would say HELL MONTH is over.... but not sure yet

First of the month on a sunday night 3am after a race weekend at Road America, water pump went POOF between my buddies house and mine.... never got hot so....
205K miles so, you know the drill, its gettting most all the cooling parts. didnt order the 2 idler pullies as they were replaced 6yrs ago?
Monday after ordering parts, get a lift to go get the Z4 out of storage, that sunday Alternator goes pop, takes out my radio once I over night the regulator from FCP as no one had a VR in detroit.
Go to put cooling system back together and find the tensioner pulley have just enough play in the bearing that #&*#$ oh well, I will order both and just be done.... Package shows up Sat, minus one of the pulleys... WTF
Now its had an oil leak that has gotten big enough that I have needed to get into it to figure it out as its not the valve cover... could have sworn I did an OFH, but that could have been on the M3... Pulled it all apart since I had the parts in stock, doesnt look like it was but gave me lots of access to clean the CRUD off the motor.

Cooling system is all back together finally, UV DYE went in the oil and now to let it get good and dark to see if I can see anything glowing....
GOD I HATE CARS SOME TIMES
