A new tank and mounting plate. Plus a transmission coolant thermostat and cooler seals. I just replaced mine. Use a pressure tester to find the leak. A mirror and flashlight work great. New o rings would only be a temporary fix.

Silicon grease (on the coolant connections only) goes a long way to insuring the o-rings slide without getting twisted out of shape. I replaced all my stuff a month ago without issue. For the transmission lines use ATF as a lubricant.

Thanks all the good advice. Where did you source your mounting plate. Looked tonight and easy to find for other models but not for the X5.

I got mine off Rock Auto. The brand was 'Vaico'. I've used a few items from them in the past and they've been fine.

Parts that will need replacing multiple times through it's life come from https://www.fcpeuro.com/
www.rockauto.com is also a good source. Sometimes, they have clearance sales. You can pick up a lot of smaller parts for cheap. The sell name brands too.

For which engine? There are at least 7 different engine variations for the e53!
