Hello there! I have just bought an e30 (my first BMW!!) I checked all the fluids took it for a drive and it ran great and everything checked out. But the other day on my drive I took off the coolant filler cap to put some more in and loads of coolant started running out from underneath the engine. The leak has slowed now but I cannot find where it is coming from, all the hoses look and feel good as do the clamps and the leak is coming from somewhere between the engine and the fan. I managed to get my iphone in to take a video, can anyone think where this is coming from, do I need a new water pump and gasket? Any advice would be great as I would like this car to be back on the road before the snow starts ideally...

Quite possible. Feel under it with your hand. Also check with torch and mirror. Any leak that big cannot hide.
