X3 20d 2013 Loosing coolant

[KennyjX3]

Hi, I have recently purchased a X3 20d 2013 . I have encountered a problem in that I am loosing coolant. It looks like its leaking at the oil cooler. Anyone have a procedure of how to remove and replace the oil cooler and seal / gasket. Also i am looking for roof rack/ rails.Thanks in advance.  :fencelook:

Should be you could find the procedure on Google/Youtube. Not sure if the oil cooler is air or water cooled, so might be some place else. My X3 looses maybe half a litre in six months (now that i think about it, could be even less) and i have replaced the rubber o-ring on the reservoir as well as put some rubber grease on the water filler cap's thread, which surely made a difference. Also, iirc., the water level should be just covering the lower section of the plastic marker thing. Also, there are arrows on the cap and bottle that should line up when you close and "lock" the cap.
