radiator leak please help

RacinGary · 05-25-2019, 08:52 PM

Hello,

I replaced the radiator on my 335i n54. Took it for a test drive and everything was fine. When I got back I parked it then it started leaking. I turned the car off and on again and it was good for a minute then started leaking a couple ounces again. It's coming from the whole above the drain plug. I'm going to check the drain plug but wanted to see if anyone has had the same issue before.

Did you install a new drain plug adapter? Also they are specific to auto/manual trans.
