I did everything but the Rad, I think the one hose is just sitting a little funny. It appears to be dripping out of the smaller of the two connections at the top of the expansion tank.Originally Posted by danewilson77

You may want to get that looked at...don't wait for it to go. Burp the hose, pull the hose, lube the o-rings with concentrated coolant and reinstall correctly.

Yeah, it is a very slow leak but I am letting the engine cool now and I'll look at it in a few hours.

Glad to hear all went relatively well buddy! I would've loved to be there today to lend a hand, but you know, family commitments. I am also glad to hear that you're a VANOS/cooling system pro now... You can help me do my car when the time comes...

Ok mini update. Car ran fine, other than a crappy idle, on the way to work this morning (about 25 miles) temp stayed steady between 93 and 98 degrees Celsius but generally remained at 95 the whole drive. As of now it looks like the small dripping has stopped too. But I will investigate more at lunch.

Well hopefully this is the final update on the vanos and cooling system job.
Found the vaccum leak.
I, in the bone head of the week award totally forgot about the 4 grommets that go on the 4 bolts that run down the center of the valve cover.......
Yep rookie mistaken lol. Going to throw them on in a little bit. Should be all good after that.
EDIT: rubber grommets installed and all is well.
