My 2008 328XI overheat warning light came on yellow then red ,pull over turn the car off.

After 5 min restart drove 25 mls with out the ligth coming on,that was 3 weeks ago.

Had a oil change done Sunday after a 20 min drive the over heat light came on and there was coolant on and close to the overflow tank.

Restart no problem ,got home let the car run in my driveway ,cant find a leak .

Commute to work 30mls today without problem,could this be the water pump relay or the thermostat .

BTW i not loosing coolant .

Before they do the work have them check the oil filter housing gasket see if its seeping if it is have them change it at the same time and cut back on the labor. They have to do a colant flush when they change this gasket and its normaly good time to change it with your car being a 2008.

Also change the thermostate. Sucks but its a good peice of mind knowing its not going to cause the pump to fail.
