Any pooling of fluid underneath where you park; both home and work?

Could be one of a few things
1) Cracked coolant tank
2) Leaking coolant hose (often the turbo hoses need to be replaced) 3) Improperly closed top (check that the dots align between the top and the coolant tank. |

For the past few mornings when I start the car, the low coolant warning light comes on, if I turn car off and restart no warning light, the rest of the day light never comes on again , only on the first start of the day.

Same happened to my 35i X5 11 with 31k miles. Mine leaked coolant on the bottom. Took it to the dealer where I bought it from said they'll call me in the middle of next week stating what's wrong.

Is the smell in the cabin persistent? I would check to see if your carpets are dry underneath the dash on both sides. If they are wet, it could be your heater core leaking. Hope this helps, good luck. |
