L@@king @ some images on the net back of the M62 eng.. Theres a plate odd shape along w/ gasket under plate. In order to get to that plate (back of eng.), the trans has to drop down .

One last twist: on the the M62 V8 Engine from BMW there is a coolant plate on the back of the engine that is only accessible with the flywheel removed. This plate likes to leak coolant:
 Time to get some Prestone stop leaks. LOL

I would check and recheck and recheck all other potential leak points even those I had worked on as far more likely to be the cause.
