cleaned the area well. its not appearing anymore and barely any visible from the dipstick.

this must have happend when there was cold weather and i was only driving the car to work and only warmed up motor for 5 min. but now i keep the X in the garage. funny how the X is fully insured and garaged as it being said the car is 10 years only meanwhille the 07 honda bought new from dealer sits outside and has only colision insurance.

My coolant level is super low however. the bobber barely moves. maybe a centimeter. I have no idea how it always cooled the motor with barely any coolant.? So i just purchased oe bmw coolant and will pour in the gallon and let the air out later today.

More Hondas are stolen compare with BMWs.

I happend to crack the head off my bolt, i got the remaing piece out and replaced the bolt with a new aftermarket one. it never seems tight.

99% sure that BMW coolant is not premixed....

I have some on the shelf. You're correct. Mix 50/50 it says.

I just did a cooling overhaul, I had to dilute both gallon jugs..... but I did go check them to make sure
