This Saturday my X5 broke the water pump pulley. I replace it after dealing for a while (quite a while) with the fan. Then I put every thing back in place, put some coolant, and I started the car, to notice a leak coming apparently from the lower hose. A closer inspection show me that the coolant was coming out down the hose from the upper parts, that I think it is the thermostat, correct me if I'm wrong. My question is, the thermostat is the whole plastic pipes parts, or goes inside like the conventional cars. I noticed also like a kinda valve or lever with a sensor or connector and a hole beneath that and I think the coolant is coming out from there. Maybe
I have to replace all of this? Any advice on that?
