Leaking coolant from oil cooler

[S0ARS]

Hello everyone,

I've only owned my F80 for 4 months and I was jacking my car up to remove the front lip and when I got under the car I noticed a decent amount coolant from the right side of my oil cooler. Once I put the car back to ground level the leaking seemed to slow down.


Then checked my coolant levels and the reservoir located by the engine seems low right? The one by the intercooler seems to be fine. How should I go about this? Is this something that needs attention right away?

I would say it’s pretty important to have coolant. Yes, the high temperature circuit coolant is low. Recommend topping off and seeing where it’s leaking from. There’s a chance a rock punctured your radiator and have a slow leak there.
