Small coolant leak. NEED HELP !!!!!
I started my 2004 e55 up today and let it warm up for about 15 minutes. When I backed out I saw a small spot on the driveway. I got out to check what is was and it was coolant. The spot was small about 3 inches by 3 inches. I took the car out for 30 minutes all the while keeping an eye on the temp. It ran at the normal temp witch is around 90-100 celsius( I never get out of the city traffic thats why that might seem high to some people). It has never over heated and never had any troubles at all. Does anyone have any info on this like does this just happen to these or this year model, can I fix this or do I need the dealerJip?

also check the water pump pulley to see if it wobbles...I had a lot of play in mine and it ended up leaking from the water pump around there...had to replace the whole pump

First things first, pop open that hood with a flashlight and take a look around with her idling. It should give you a pretty clear indication of where it is coming from.
If you see the leak, perhaps snap a pick of location so we can check it out.
