Engine Cooling problem
1999 BMW 323 6 cyl Manual 119km miles

I have a 1999 bmw 323i. I noticed very small amounts of blue fluid on the ground (at the front of the car). What could it be?
How many hours would it take approx. to change a water pump? As well the rad. Assuming they would be changed at different times.

You are probably looking at a coolant leak and you will probably save yourself a lot of trouble if you replace the water pump and the radiator and the expansion tank at once. It should be about 3-4 hours of work.
