    2016 BMW X1 - I see white spots under the hood.

    Hello Bimmer geeks,

    I see weird white spots under the hood.
    This is my very first BMW car. I am worried if the white spots are some oil leaked or some kind of important liquid (ex. coolant)
    Please see picture in the below link:

    Thank you!

    Those spots look like dried salt water or bmw coolant. Look for leaks from water pump or a hose or connection leak that sprayed on fan.
    Car is a little young for failed pump seal, but anything is possible.
