Hi,

I had noticed my 2003 4.4V8 (BMW M62) was loosing a lot of coolant and I was about to post to ask for any advice on tracing a
Leak.

I nipped out of work to see about getting some fluorescent dye to try and find the leak but when I pulled over to park I noticed steam coming out of the vent in the bonnet.

Opening the bonnet I could hear the hiss and see steam coming from the rear of the engine block and coolant was pouring out of somewhere onto the ground.

I need to go back into work but won’t be able to get home like this.

Is there anything obvious it might be at the back of the V8 ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Bob

Start by pulling those stupid plastic covers off the enigne, they only hide problems. None of my vehicles have any covers on them. You'll soon find the problem by digging and not on here my mate
