It could be the coolant temp sensor o ring.
Get Danco #31 from Home Depot.

Listen to Taz, he gave you the answer. Typically this is a very inexpensive fix, here is a thread that shows the details about buying the new o-ring. Those that replaced the entire hose reported that they really only needed the o-ring which can be bought at home depot.

They have a clip that holds them on. Once you pull that off it typically will come off with minimal effort, slight pull and twist. I used a flathead screwdriver to slide in the piece that sticks out, then simply twist the screwdriver and it pulls the clip out to where you can grab it with some needle nose pliers.
I added a picture for you showing where the piece that sticks out is to remove the clip. This is for the big hose. If the Leak is in the sensor then there is a clip for that one that is different. Hope this helps. Last edited by houbmw-cm; 06-14-2012 at 03:39 PM. Reason: damn typos. |

yes it did. got sensor off replace ring and i put sensor back in but i didnt here it clip in and i can pull out pretty easy so i tapped it in with a hammer but still didt hear it click in feels like its tight but if i pull hard enough on it without squizing the sides i can pull it out. i dont not see a leak anymore but worried the sensor will pop off

There are specific grooves the clip slides in. If you miss those it does not slide into the locking mechanism and is just sitting there. Pressure could cause a leak if that is the issue and the sensor my come out. I would pull it out and see where the clip is and make sure it is in the grooves it should be in. Make sure you put the sensor back in THEN slide the clip on. Good luck.

There are essentially two parts there is the housing that the sensor sits in. Then there is the sensor. The housing has slots for the clip. The sensor has grooves that act as a catch for the clip and hold the sensor in place. You should not be able to pull the sensor out(without breaking it) if the clip is in correctly.
