It looked like the hose had been rubbing on the oil filter housing and had created a hole. Strangely, the hose wasn''t really touching the oil filter housing at that time. I decided to check our air online technical information source for a BMW factory technical service bulletin that could shed some light on this problem.Great! There was a bulletin that covered this exact problem and here''s what it described:Some BMW M3 models, produced from September 1995 through June 1996, equipped with the M54, S50, or the S52 engine, may have an upper radiator hose that tools can come in contact hsnd with the oil filter housing only when the engine coolant is at operating temperature. The contact held is due to coolant system pressure and expansion air of the hose.Checking the tools clearance between the upper radiator hose and the oil filter housing must be performed when the engine is cold.
