2002 X5 3.0 green color oil leak

[cdsjklee]

Hi. I have 2002 X5 3.0. I have noticed that green color oil was leaked from under the car near thje front side of engine. Anyone know that X5 has green color oil.

antifreeze?

That would be coolant, not oil. Oil is golden, brown or black.

It might be that the coolant reservoir is broken or some of the hoses might have a hole

Royal Purple is actually purple oil. I run it in my motorcycles, but it is about $10 quart on sale.

I know you think that is cute, but what are the chances that is even relevant to a person who doesn't know what color coolant is? Are they likely to have paid double per quart against OEM recommendation to switch their X5 to it? No. Let's not confuse the issue of this thread. I have RP in all my final drives. I also have orange coolant in my GM, but that is hardly pertinant now is it?

As stated, I said that it is antifreeze at the top of this thread. I made this comment about your stating oil is golden, brown or black. Not all oil is just those colors.
