    Default You can usually

    Find the leaks by starting on a cold car, fill the reservoir to the max, and let it warm up to operating temp.

    squeeze the hoses, they should be pressurized

    get a flash light and a dentist's mirror and start looking for a pisser that leaks only under operating temp.

    If you are using the BMW blue stuff it leaves a residue at the site if the leak that looks like light blue crust.


    Don't forget to checkout satan's water hose

    Good luck & happy hunting
