I believe im leaking antifreeze somewhere. From below i noticed some antifreeze colored drips (see pictures below) but not sure what would be causing it to become thick and stick on the underside. Based off the picture does anyone have some advice of what might be causing this?

you need to pressure test your system, but i would say the weep hole on the water pump is leaking, maybe someone put stop leak in it?

 

good pics. x2 on the weep hole.

 

Thanks, If I find it is weep hole, what is the best solution for this?

 

Replace the water pump is the only option. Might want to replace the hoses, belt and install a TD5 thermostat if they havent been replaced makes no sence to "me" to put 10+ year old stuff back on.

 

having same problem but mine is at the bleeder screw have you guys had this same issue and what did you do to fix I would like to go to brass plug but looking for other options

 

Brass BMW screw is it

 

Replace the Water Pump.
you could have the bearing freeze up, smoke off the belt and then you over heat out on the road.

Then your engine is done.

So, man up.
Water pump time.

 

yes maybe what year did the bmw use the tee fitting and where can I find one
