Well, if you own one you know that the power steering
reservoir is just nasty, leaking, filth! I had my power steering
hoses replaced under my original BMW warranty, but this reservoir just
leaked and leaked. It can make it look like the hoses are
leaking, the clamps aren't tight and so on. While inspecting the
cap, I noticed a little rubber O-Ring in the cap that had been
mutilated from taking the cap on and off, plus I assume the heat these
cars generate under the hood played a big roll in the demise of this
O-Ring.
So I searched the parts database and sure enough I
found a new O-Ring for the reservoir.
Parts:
Tools:
- O-Ring Pick, but you can use whatever you think
will pry it out.
Enjoy, and remember ALWAYS work safe and I assume NO
RESPONSIBILITY for your actions, mechanical abilities or
anything that may occur during the nature of the repairs.

And the tool that made it all possible,
oh and I used this for the clips coming off the injectors / electrical
box thing also. A must have as it was $5 and has easily paid for
itself:
