Hi everyone,

Ive got a leak from the front left side of the car just under the wheel. I have no idea what fluid it is. It doesnt have the feel of oil, it doesnt look or smell like coolant. No idea what it is. Ive take some pics. Anyone can shed some light on what it is.

Just air con drain tube for condensation. Nothing too worry about.

Mine used to drip right on the dump pipe, hot day pull over and you hear is water steaming awY :)

Thanks for the replies. I looked at it again today morning and its still leaking the liquid (I'll place a catchment bottle underneath to see what the liquid really is). I'm going to take a better look at it after work today.

Sorry about the noob question but with the condensation issue doesn't the car have to been running recently in order for condensation to build up (its been 3 days since the car has been started)?

What I thought it could be is that it has rained recently and could be rainwater finding its way in there??? Just a theory.

AFAIK there is a sunroof drain exit there, also the aircon heater unit will drain there if it leaks.

if its clear, dont worry about it. we have had heaps of rain lately and it will come out there. i leave my car overnight outside and there is a pool of water right where youre talking. i havent driven the car for at least 12 hours......

    • Are you suggesting that the kit did a cheap and nasty job of just jamming the wheel in between other things and caused the misalignment? I mean, we normally do this with an integrated crank trigger wheel, not something bodged on. It's not 1995 any more.
    • I mean, given the number of BMWs you own their tolerance for improper torque is rather low. The number of torque + angle spec bolts and non-reusable bolts in one is nuts.
    • Atmospheric vent requires something that doesn't use a MAF for load. You would need a standalone ECU for that.
    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU?
