    Default Most likely coolant leak in V8?

    I am loosing coolant in my 95 540i and it's getting worse. Just casually looking at the engine bay I can't find the leak. What is the most likely place for coolant to leak in V8 and not be visible?

    normally the leak is is below the inlet manifold or what ever you call it over there and because its a v8 you cant see it

    water pump or hoses behind the intake manifold underneath the coolant expansion tank

    Here is what is common called the valley pan. Coolant seeps from the corners and usually runs down the back of the block.
