coolant level keeps dropping
hey fellas, with 30k on the odo (2012 x5d) I noticed the coolant level keeps going down, not to the degree where light would pop up but it is definitely dropping below min... Dealership replaced the waterpump 2 months ago after pressure testing the system (saying waterpump was leaking coolant) .. anything similar experienced by anyone here ? I think there's either some minor leak in the hoses or more dreadfully coolant getting into oil (but bottle is not milky color, more like light green/ blue ish always)

No idea, other than questionable work when the water pump was replaced (gasket slightly off?). I'd give it back to them to spin their wheels with your warranty coverage. They should probably check the head gasket while they're at it. Good luck, Bud.

It could be many things. The coolant reservoir could have a crack in it as it is plastic and is under pressure. They are just going to have to do a smoke test to find it or put a dye in the coolant.
