coolant leak under passenger side 700

posted by  someone claiming to be brian on  Thu Feb 28 11:31 CST 2008 [RELATED]

my 90 740T started to overheat driving it one day and noticed that there was little or no coolant in the resivor. i filled it up with antifreeze and did not notice a leak until i turned the car on. its coming from a little space underneath the passenger side. does anyone know what this could possible be and how to go about fixing it?

    Most likley its the coolant lines to the oil cooler thats incorporated into the oil filter mount. If you know where your oil filter is take a look there, you'll see 2 hoses connected to the filter mount. They see alot of oil/dirt and are a common failure if not replaced when they get old.
    A word of caution: if they are leaking now they are possibly going to fail in a big way soon, a failure while cruising will empty ALL your coolant quickly (like before you notice a problem) and overheating/major problems will occur soon after.
    They are available at FCP Groton online or at the dealer.
    If this is the source of your leak I would get them replaced before you drive the car any more. Better safe than sorry.
