E39 Newbie in need of advice
I purchased my 525i less than a month ago, previous to my purchasing it the valve cover gasket was replaced. Two days ago i opened the hood to check the fluid and noticed the coolant level float was well bellow the neck of the tank so I filled it to the appropriate level. Then after idling for a few minutes I noticed the leak on the top right hand side hose, at the elbow that connects directly to the top of the radiator. Yesterday I checked the leak again and it was still steaming and leaking from that elbow. I also noticed that there was an electrical plug undone on the same hose parallel to the radiator fan. I pulled the radiator hose off and didn't see any damage to it. My question; what is that plug and could it have anything to do with the leak?
Also, I'm using the mobile app I'm not certain if I posted this in the right place. And I'll have pictures up as soon as I figure that out.
Thanks for the help!
