    Coolant is on my belt..

    I was driving my m50 swapped m3 a couple of days ago and I when I got home I noticed I could smell alittle coolant. So I popped the hood and there was alittle puddle on the ground, along with a couple of drops on the crank, the belt was also alittle wet. I am new to m50s and everything is kinda tight in the front so I figured I would ask If thats were the thermostat housing was? Im assuming its either leaking out of the hoses right there or that plastic peace. Has anyone else had this problem?

    That is exactly where the housing is.. Check bottom of hoses for cracks. Sometimes if clamps were tightened crooked or something it could puncture the hose. Or if you have the plastic thermostat housing it might be cracked

            M50 M3.. eek.

            Anyway it's either your thermostat housing or your waterpump. Both shit simple.
