My first E70 4.8i

[N62B48]

Hello guys,

Short story, i came from Toy/Lex family, I dropped the toyota engine and rebuild them in my free time.

Im new to X5, I purchased it 2 yrs ago so far I replaced, fixed so many things new battery, brake pads, throttle body, coolant reservoir, AC leaks.. now I found these new leaks under the front passenger side.

Do you guys have experience with these leaks? The X5 has 67K miles in it.It looks like from rack and pinion, I just cant pinpoint where the leaks from... anyone?

Some old pics I rebuild the motor ported and bored it out to 4.6L, and interior pics my 20 yrs old lexus, landcruiser.

Wow, those two SUV's are night/day difference, but to be honest, I like your LC better!

get rid of the 4.8i -- the engines will start to smoke once you hit 100k mark and its like a $7,00o repair -- i forget the exact reason -- my buddy sells BMW's all the time -- thank god i listened to him --- the 5.o engine apparently has some issues too -- the 3.5i engine is apparently the most solid of them all !

I hope this helps!

just asked buddy -- Valve Seals go bads -- its a $6,000 fix
