Ah ok, IIRC, you just need to remove the micro cabin filter cowl and the hose is right beneath. Isn't that bear of a job. Is the leak a big leak? If not could you seal it up temp incase if you get in there and open up another can of worms?

It was leaking pretty bad. Limped it home last night and looked around with a flashlight and mirror until I found it. Lost about a gallon in less than 20 miles. I just left it in my shop and drove the M5 today. Local dealer has the two reare hoses (11 and 12), and I will replace those tonight. I just ordered the short hoses (5,6,7) from CarQuest, and will change those out next week.

Got the short rear hose installed last night. It was a small pinhole near the hose clamp. Going to wait until the other three hoses come in next week to finish the job.
