long time lurker, joined up since I bought a CPO 2013 r56s from my local dealer about a month ago.

Noticed a leak coming from the front center of car and I am not sure where it's coming from. Mostly concentrated in one area when it drips (right around the catalytic converter?), and it seems to be coolant based on the color and consistency of the fluid. I can't take it to the dealership to get serviced until 5/20/17. The question is, can i get away with just topping off the coolant tank for the rest of the week? This is my daily and I have a long commute.

Thanks.

 

It is a tricky one but there are two places where this might be coming from: the thermostat or the oil filter housing.

 

I don't think there'd be any issues topping off the coolant tank before the dealer visit. MINI coolant jugs (from dealer) are concentrated so you have to mix 1:1 with distilled water. Some other alternatives discussed here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...nt-to-use.html
