    Fuel Leak

    Drivers side, right in front of the rear tire. Just about under the rear seat. '88 325is. It's powerful enough to leave a puddle on the ground (while car is running) after about 10-20 seconds.

    Just curious as to what it could be. I was thinking a clogged filter or something.
    Me: "I can't wait to redline my car!"
    Mark: "Didn't you just break a rocker arm?"
    Me: "Yeah, I don't think I've learned my lesson."
    Mark: "You never will."

    There is some rubber line right there for the fuel filter. It probably cracked.

      Sounds plausible.

        Have same problem. If the hoses are the same as on the 318is. The hose that attaches to the fuel tank and the fuel filter IS A PITFA to take out. Just read another post on here about dropping the fuel tank. I'm gonna leave it for another day...

          Found the leak. It was that curvy hose that connects some line to the fuel filter. Took me about 10 minutes.
