Hey all, fixed my expanstion tank problems so hopefully thats the end to my collant leaks for now.

I have a power steering leak as well, is there a certin hose that seems to break/crack before other hoses that I should look at first?

Often the hose which is under the Pentosin reservoir. That is not a high pressure hose. I cut about 1 cm off and attached it again and used a new hose clamp and it does not leak anymore.
All high pressure hoses start to leak when they get old. I replaced them all.
Old ones

This is possible

But not the most elegant way. I went to a hydraulic shop, they cut of the crimped part, used new hoses and crimped the sleeves on the BMW pipes.

Or buy new ones from autohausaz.com, they have good prices

Looks like the rear wheel wells just have fluid all over them.

The LAD system runs of the Power Steering pump as well right?
Could this be the source of my problem? I don't see any major leaks in the engine bay right now but I know its all over the back wheel wells.

Yes, servo pump is a double pump. Check the rear bombs and the hoses from regulating valve to the shocks at rear.
