I can't find anything about that tube in the Bentley. Is there a gasket or O-ring that has to be replaced? Can I do it without removing the intake?

Check your oil pressure switch, make sure it's not leaking through the wiring connector.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gruppe, Will trying to fix my hot start problem(s) I noticed that there was a water leak on the side of the front of the block, right where the water pump is. The PO had told me he replaced the water pump, but I can't be certain. My only concern is that once I had the car running, I noticed water coming out of the exhaust when first started. I get a feeling of dread here. Is that symptomatic of a failing water pump? Or something much more nefarious?

Or something much more nefarious? it is normal for water to come out of the exhaust when first starting a car.. all kinds of stuff (including water) condenses out from the hot exhaust gases in the cold muffler and can then drip out once the muffler heats up, the moist hot air goes right through and dissipates in the air, but until then, drip drip drip (some of the stuff which condenses is pretty acidic and helps to rust out mufflers from the inside out on short-driven cars that never get a chance to heat up.. better mufflers help blow that moisture straight through, less well designed mufflers let it pool inside) from what I've seen, coolant leaks into the motor = white smoke out the exhaust failing water pumps can drizzle coolant out (external leak) and then when they die completely you will find the temperature gauge rapidly rising chris pawlowicz '89 325i '99 z3 2.8 ------------------------------ End of [bmwuucdigest] digest(5 messages) **********
