e60 coolant leak!!

[Calvin West]

Hi guys just wna source out more info on coolant leaks. 2 days ago low coolant checklight appeared. At first I thought it was genuinely low coolant so I still drove the car till today when I wanted to refill my coolant tank I realized that there was a leakage. Pour water in straight away leak out from below till the ground. Recently just change water pump only, anything related? And also its weird that ive been driving for 2 days wo coolant and no overheating checklight or smoke from engine... (touchwood) pls advise.

If water come straight out should be simple matter to trace source of leak - could be your coolant tank or radiator (?)

Bring to site sponsor ...... No hoist hard to see from below ..... The coolant when leaking leaves obvious traces - the coolant is design that way.

Don't think it's the expansion tank though - if that cracks, it's over in minutes. Sounds like a slow leak, since it was depleted in days ......

Go to a site sponsor that has distilled water and g48 complaint coolant .....

using those "colored" coolant help to trace the leak, best to get a workshop to find the leak
normal problems encounter with cooling system is:

1. cap for reservoir tank kaput
2. reservoir tank spoil
3. oil exchanger for cooling of transmission kaput

#3 is most costly as the water can get mixed with the transmission fluid and become a lousy affair! damn difficult to flush it away and when water mixed with oil, it will spoil almost every rubber seal you can think of.
