Jonesee 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2019 Hi Team, Have a few issues with the E30 I picked up recently - I've taken some photos to help. I've got a decent oil leak coming from somewhere high up (based on the coverage of oil over parts quite high up in engine bay) The plug underneath the Throttle has oil all over it - unsure how, but this is the highest part of the engine with much oil over it When the engine is running, I can't see any obvious leaks (it isn't spraying or gushing out of anywhere) See image of throttle and plug below it I've also heard there can often be leaks from the 'Bitch Tube' or 'Tube of Death' as some people call it? The one with the spring on it. Could be a culprit? I've also got a decent coolant leak Again, when running the engine, it isn't gushing out of anywhere - at the bottom of the radiator (see image) it seems to be gathering and it drips from there If it needs replacing - does anyone have a good recommendation of brand/model/type to use? (anything to avoid) At the Coolant reservoir, the tube is cracked (as image shows) - can anyone recommend where to get a replacement? Also, tube coming out of the valve cover (oil return?) appears to be cracked - so should probably replace? And finally, on throttle there are tubes going in on each side, which aren't 'fixed' in place and can easily fall out - I've seen some people 'jb weld' these in place? Any recommendations Appreciate any help you guys and gals can offer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
