I do not smell anti-freeze in the cabin when the heater is on. I recently had the engine out of the car, so I wouldn't be surprised if I had some hoses leaking somewhere. It is not leaking...

Yes the AC was running when I noticed the leak the second time. I cannot remember if it was the first time. And it was warm, probably around 75 degrees. It is never humid in Idaho. :)

I guess it could be condensation. The first time I saw it though I put my finger down there to check the color, and it was slightly blue, which lead me to believe it was coolant. My coolant has...

Coolant leak by transfer case

I'm afraid I have a coolant leak, but oddly enough it is on the driver's side, right next to the transfer case. At first I thought it was just running down the engine, along the frame, and onto the...

After I take the old seal out is there a lip or something that will stop me from pushing the seal in to far? Or do I just make the seal flush with the cover?

Why would I use as a vice as a press when I have a real press? I guess what I am asking is will it be detrimental or dangerous to use a press?

Maybe the misunderstanding is that I already have the cover off. I am not trying to do this with the cover on the engine. Should I do it with the cover on the engine?

Are you saying that it would not be easier to use a press? Are you saying I am better of doing it another way? What way should I do it? I have not been able to find anything on this...

What do you mean it would be very hard to push in? Do you mean I would be better off with a press? Or do you mean it would be hard to mess it up just by pressing it in with a hammer?

I'm talking about the front seal on the front cover where the dampener attaches. It's not so much the force I am worried about as the risk of pushing the seal in at an angle. I don't want to damage...

My dad has a press in his shop. Maybe I'll take a large socket like you say, and use the press to push it into place.

Replacement regulator for alternator.

I have my alternator off and want to replace either the brushes or regulator while I have it off. Would this regulator work for my 2006 X5 4.8is?
