LEaking coolant

[Kev]

So my car is leaking coolant ryt by air flow meter is this common???

[Wishno87]

Do you have a late model?

[Kev]

Do you have a late model?

Yup its a 91 325i

[Wishno87]

Well your coolent bottle is close to that so it is probably related to that. Pics of the situation?

[Kev]

i cant even put my hand where its at lol...but i saw where the leak starts at its hose 18 would that be a common leak or no??

[Wishno87]

Thats one of the throttle body coolent lines. Is it leaking at the connection or further down the line?

[Kev]

connection ryt where the clamp is at is wet.

[Wishno87]

Well if its corroded around the connection that may keep the hose from sealing properly.

[Kev]

Yea thats what i was thinking? most likely ima end up replacing the hose 2morrow morning... and hopefully thats it

[Wishno87]

Ya maybe find something like a metal brush to clean up the corrosion on it too.

[Kev]

i ended up changing the hoses both of them and wasnt it and it was a bitch doing... im guessing its a gasket and if its not the gasket then the housing ... what do u think it could be??

[Alkasquawlik]

Is it that tiny gasket on the heater core block or whatever. They're notorious for failing. Mine blew on the way down to Bimmerfest.

[Kev]

umm no its attachd to the throttle body i belive ...i met u at the plant now that i remember....

I just replaced that gasket.

I made it myself with gasket paper. You can also buy it online for about 2 bucks.

Took me about two hours to fix since I kept dropping nuts and had to make the gasket.

Now I have to replace another hose.

I'm having trouble understanding what your problem is.
