Hi y'all -

I've had my '96 850T now for about 3 months and about 6 weeks ago noticed that the coolant was low. Not thinking too much about it, I topped it off. But tonight while sitting in line at the drive through, I suddenly noticed that the temperature gauge was at about 1:00 (almost in the red zone), so I turned on the heater but it only cooled slightly. It wasn't until I started moving that the temp returned to normal (pointing at 3:00). I had a similar issue with my 240 and it turned out to be low coolant...... same situation with my 850T. I'm seeing some wetness coming from a metal hose on the radiator just under the rubber upper radiator hose (on passenger side). So my question is where does this hose go to? It's probably an easy fix but the 850 has a lot more hoses and wires than my 240.

and unlike the 240, there is no Bentley Bible - the Haynes manual is not so helpful.
