Hi,

First time posting here, apologies if this is not the right thread to post to.

I have owned this 1988 325is for two days. I noticed a severe coolant leak today that seems to originate from a cracked hose next to the firewall. It is a short hose, about 5-6 inches long. It is difficult to get to and to image, but hopefully the images and videos I've attached to this post (imgur link) will help make it a bit more clear. Could someone please help me identify this hose so I can replace it?

I would greatly appreciate any help and advice. Thank you! VidMate Mobdro
