    Bill, I think the difference is you see the cars that are leaking to the point that they aren't driveable any more, hence they are brought in for repair. Very few non-enthusiasts will pay to make a repair that isn't absolutely necessary. My E12, E21, E28 and E30 all displayed low clutch pedal engagement on occasion when parked outside in frigid weather, which I blame on internal leakage. Pedal returns to normal after several shifts. None had any external leaks. E34 & E36 haven't done this yet, but they stay warm in the garage.
