Hi Gang,
Took the K for a spin today to visit my son today - he pointed out a small amount of coolant spray near the right fairing where the hose connects to the radiator - upon closer inspection, I noticed coolant is leaking by thermostat cover. Clymer manual says the "O" ring deteriorates over time - seems to make sense - will remove & also test thermostat to make sure it opens & closes.
Can O ring & if needed, a new thermostat be purchased at auto parts store is it a BMW specific part?
