Just wondering if I need a gasket for this pipe into the back of the head?
I asked for one from BMW in my big list of parts but didnt get one so before I go back iI was just wondering if there should be one or not.
I presume there should be otherwise the coolant will piss out everywhere.

Cool, I'll call them tomorrow morning and email them a photo this time to make sure I get the right one. Im still waiting on them to get a new spring for the timing belt tensioner anyway.

I didnt buy a gasket set, I just bought the individual parts as I got some other parts and gaskets from GSF. Oh well.
