Well, my rear y fitting definately broke, exactly like Datatraveler.
Being a retired bodyman, at least I have lots of tools, so I proceeded to take the cowl cover off, pulled the wiring harness back on top of the intake manifold, and it is a bitch to reach the y fitting, but last night, with the help of a 1/4" drive ratchet hanging from above the valve cover, I got the bolts out.
Jeese. I can only reach one hand in there. As good as I am, this is going to be a tough one to get the t-fitting on and get the bolts back in.
Yesterday, went to Weatherford BMW in Berkeley and got new hoses, clamps and the y fitting.
Now I will let you know if I can get the y-fitting on without either pulling the intake manifold or valve cover.
My car is a virign, never been apart, the valve cover is not leaking, but looks like easier to pull valve cover to reach y-fittiing than pulliing the intake. I am not changing the fitting on the block until I can get this thing running to see if I blew the head gasket.
