E70 X5 48i Coolant Everywhere!!!

[Mhmd]

A few days ago the low coolant light came on in the X5. I had just bought the car and i couldnt really make out the color of the coolant. So i took it to my mechanic and had it topped off.

Today i was driving home, maybe a 10min drive from work. Got home went inside when i notice that there was a fair bit of white smoke coming out of my engine bay. Opened it up and there was coolant everywhere, and on everything. Even on the underside of the hood and there was practically a lake of coolant under the car. It looked like someone intentionally sprayed it down with coolant.

I got in contact with the previous owner of the car, had a sneaky suspicion that my mechanic filled the coolant with the wrong color And you guessed it, he sure did. The previous owner used OEM BMW blue coolant and my ex-guy used red offbrand coolant.

Also its 2 hours later now and there is still a bit of smoke coming out, everything is still warm to the touch.

I know there are multiple threads for this on here, but i havent read one, or been able to fine one that describes this much coolant everywhere.

I know the n62 is infamous for a "valley leak", im thinking the reservoir was over filled and wrong coolant causing it to explode under pressure? Any ideas, most garages are closed now where i am, so ill be taking it first thing tomorrow.
