I am losing coolant (e34 1992 525i, m50) through a split in the water hose, outlet (the hose that goes under the intake manifold with 4 (count them four) openings. I have the hose on order but can't do the work myself. How much labor time should I expect in the shop?

Thanks

If can get over to my place.

Dealer is going to $100++ easy.

Shop should be less, but make sure they use the right type of coolant, or you'll end up back in the shop later.

Now that would be for a hose on a purple 1970 El Dorado

edit, a gallon a day, if your stranded it will add 14.0 to the expense.
