Like the title says, I got stuck in the snow with my e90, I had to get it towed out by my snow plow guy but I had noticed an odd smell while I was trying to get it out, and some greenish stuff in the snow on front passenger side, then I saw my dash said low coolant level and when it cooled down I checked the reservoir and it was empty. I can't take the car to the shop until friday when it stops snowing but anyone have any idea what could this be or have something similar

First idea would be to check the reservoir and maybe some hoses. Id try adding coolant, run it, observe it. Something has to leak.

I had this stupid coolant leak where there was a crack in a hose, which would only sometimes loose few drops a week, and then get moved by vibration and loose half a cup in 15 seconds, eventually one time my reservoir was almost empty, wasn't able to find the reason for a month or so.

I'll check it out, I havent had a chance to refill the coolant and run the car yet, but so far it looks like it only leaks when the car is started. I'm going to get the get on jackstands this weekend to try and figure out where it is coming from, I have my money on a water pump.
