Problem for BMW 1997 318

I replaced my water pump and belts on my 96 bmw

By robramos1969 on Oct 21, 2009

" "

I replaced my water pump and belts on my 96 bmw 318is. I started it up and the coolant is leaking from the rear of the engine, not from the water pump. Are there hoses near the back furthest away from the radiator that may have come loose. Do those hoses come loose or break?

ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD THERE IS A PLASTC PIPE WITH TWO HOSES COMING OFF IT THESE TEND TO CRACK AND LEAK WITH AGE SO IF THE LEAK IS FROM THE BACK OF THE ENGINE THEN THIS IS MORE THAN LIKELY THE PROBLEM THEY ARE ONLY£4 NEW FROM GSF I HAD TO REPLACE MINE THE PTHER DAY.
