OK I could see those possibly being the issue. I also see saw some moisture around the connection of part number 16 in that picture. Maybe I'll start with your suggestion. I just checked some prices for the hoses. Where is the best place to the drain for the coolant? I cant seam to find a petcock. The X5 is probably due for a flush anyhow. Thanks again!
