It should come out there.
So maybe you are lucky and it's not the pipe leaking...
OTOH, it is possible that it leaks to the outside of the engine and the water comes down at the water pump, when the O-Ring is not yet totally broken...

Correct, unless a legal problem.
Case is pending, I'm still in contact with BMW, I'll adress this later on the forum.
Currently, there's not much I can do...
I'm also still putting together all the infos and am trying to get as much details as possible.
