cooling leak hey guys, last night i was sitting in taco bell's drive thru and my engine overheated so i pulled it over and shut it off and called AAA. they towed it home and today i pulled the underpanel off and it looks like the bottom of the expansion tank is leaking. in january this happened to me and the BMW shop down the road told me to add more coolant in and drive it down there. being that this is my first BMW i didn't really know off the emergency of the cooling system errors. however, i got there and they told me i had warped my head and that it was going to be $2000 to fix. being that my daily driver was hit by a tree last fall i had to get it fixed. (keep in mind i bought this car to do the S52 swap and now having to dump all this money in to the M44 engine) : / now after all that history it did this, any ideas on what to do or what i need to look for when fixing this? thanks, matt p.s. currently my daily driver still since work has been cutting my hours. __________________ 1999 318ti Hellrot M-Technik Sport Package Current mods: Dinan CAI, Motorsport X-brace, ZKW's, 50w 6k low, 35w 3k high, 50w 6k French Fogs, Orion V2 angel eyes, Xenon LED interior lights, V3 LED license plate lights, M3 front bumper lip and mesh, DDM M3 style Mirrors, OEM Style 68 Wheels, CD43 Headunit, UUC Stainless Steal Brake Lines, Painted Red Calipers F/R, Rear Bavauto cup holders. |
