This just happened to me how did you car run afterwards? My car started to shimmy before one start today. The X runs great though. Also, it was 16 degrees out too, I am worried I am suppose to do a 600 mile drive on Wed. Suggestions?

Cruiser: When I flushed my coolant about 3 months ago I had to top off twice to get it to stay at an exceptable level . I know I dont have a coolant leak since it has been at a consistant level since then. I guess its just one of those things--well for me, anyway. Hope all is well

I have been having to add a quart of oil every 1500 miles or so. Yesterday as I topped off the oil, I noticed the "mayonnaise" in the top of the cap along with what was clearly water/moisture as it ran off quickly as water would when I held the cap sideways.

I'll just keep topping off I guess. You X5world guys scared me into changing the oil separator valve over the summer after reading the horror stories.

As for that picture TerraPhantm posted
