    Coolant leak (E30/M20)

    I have a worsening coolant leak coming apparently from the right front side of the engine, the source of which is not immediately apparent. It doesn't appear to be a hose, so I'm thinking water pump, although it was replaced ~30K miles/20 mos ago and failure of that part would seem a bit premature. Perhaps a gasket.

    Regardless, before spending time or money, I thought I'd check here to see whether anyone had any thoughts on how to diagnose the source of the problem, or on what the problem might be. Many thanks in advance for any thoughts.

    check the engine block coolant drain plug? its on the right side of the engine. easy check and at least you can rule that out.

      A pressure test of the cooling system should reveal the leak.
