I was able to re-torqued it and it is not currently leaking. I imagine it will start up again. It was loose. I can't find anything on how to remove or reinstall it. Is there a seal? Is the tensioner being loose an indicator of future problem? Thanks in advance. Bobby 1994 325I Convertable, six cyl. automatic, 120K miles young.
