Few problems

[baksa]

Happy new year all around BMW community!!!

I have a few problems that I want to share with you so maybe anybody could help me.
Yesterday I noticed an oil puddle where my car was the day before.
The place is in front of my house so no chance it's somebody's else puddle.
The oil is dripping, I suppose from center area of engine, or it is leaking somewhere else and then goes downwards over engine and drips on ground.
This only happens when car is parked with nose slightly lower than the end of the car. On flat ground I didn't notice oil puddles.
My other problem is that I probably have heater core leak, but I know what to do with it.
Can anybody show me how the additional tank for headlight washers looks like for my car since I have headlight washers but I don't have the tank, and I want them to work.
My car is september 1992. 520i M50.

Thank you in advance for any information.

clean up under there and then keep an eye out for where the oil is comming from.
You can either replace, block off or live with the heater core problem. Eventually it will start getting your rear carpet wet.
Realoem.com will have pictures and part numbers for anything you need.

it depends, some cars had intensive cleaning system which had 2 tanks - however this was just for applying concentrated fluid to the lights and screen
you can have headlight washers without this system

if you have the headlight washers you will find you should have the huge tank over the wheel arch (which also holds water for the windscreen washer jets) that dissapears behind the bumper - the headlight washer motors are hidden down there and are a pain to get to, but possible without removing anything - its possible the wires have corroded
