Question BMW 735 is leaking lots of water (pics) any ideas >_<

So I went to drop off my parts and I look down adn I see it growing.

water pump maybe if its leaking alot while running maybe be leaking around were the pully is, as soon as car is off it should slow down to drips, maybe the "T" were u connect the hoses might be leaking, or lower hoseing around the clamps might need replaceing, i'd be careful dricieng it while its leaking this much though. if engin over heats or waring lights or beeps start happing, u can warp the heads, they'll need to be re shaped, about a week and a half, it'll cost around 2000 grand maybe more depends on who u go to, then when they go to put them back in they'll torque everything, chances are they wunt be abel to re toruque to specs so you'll need a new engine, you dont wate that shit, trust me,

just fill car with water, turn on, open hood, look around the water pump and the pullys above the water pump if not leaking, drive car around the block, hit the gas hard a few times, go fast, go back home re check the pump and pully see if leaking, if not then most likely just some hose.....

... just looked at were the puddel of water is. i own a M3 BMW, water pump and pullys are closer to the frount, so if it was water pump then the puddel would be more foward then it is. so this leads me to belive it could be the "T" and its cracked or lower hoses

I found iT!!!

I guess its the car doing exactly what its supposed to do.

THis hose is the culprit, I assume its the overflow hose.


Its all wet down there


And there is the hose


Ok car you win......this time

Thanks everyone
