Hello guys,

anyone willing to help me out? I live in Fremont, California. I have a leaking bmw x5 2002 4.4 v8. I replaced the water pump and it still has leak same place, so I'm assuming the water pump was still good. Anyone can give a second look?

Expansion tank is good, no leaks from there.

It's somewhere near the crank pulley. I guess I need to ask someone to do leak down test?

You do have towing service right?
Have it towed and check out properly.
