[QUOTE="Dexter, post: 448042, member: 20864"] thanks jarance for the guidance, I really appreciate it. just came back from outstation 2 days ago and I have done some cleaning on the car. I bleed the radiator and clean up the radiator using stream of water, boy , the radiator got so many old leaves and whats not stuck on the surface. after that I switch on the aircond and did a test drive from my place to KLIA and back , and had a stop for 15 minutes while the aircond on, so far so good, no more overheat, and yes, the fan works as usual. but yesterday I noticed something beneath the car, got some leakage or something. appreciate if you could help me to pinpoint what is the problem? [IMG]http://i926.photobucket.com/albums/ad105/dexterbmw/2.jpg[/IMG] as you can see from the pic I noticed some leakage from the oil sump and from the "bar" ? another thing [IMG]http://i926.photobucket.com/albums/ad105/dexterbmw/1.jpg[/IMG] I can see some leakage from the oil cooling pipe outlet. [IMG]http://www.realoem.com/bmw/diagrams/e/g/31.png[/IMG] but what is the black oil reservoir thing actually? when I have a peek on it the got some indicator like the oil dip stick and the oil already past half the tank. Appreciate if you could help me on this matter. [/QUOTE]
