HELP (Repairs)

Anyone available to take a look at my car?

Looks like I am leaking coolant, oil and I have a lean code that I want to get rid of. The coolant leak seems pretty new...the oil leak not sure if that’s just natural consumption and the lean code I’ve had for a while now but car was in shop for body work. Now that I have it back...need to tackle this ASAP. Already failed emissions. Any reputable mechanics looking for side work...please contact me ASAP. Usually take the car to Martin (a few members here use him) but haven’t heard back from him in a while.

Well if you failed inspection it means you're not in the same state as me because we dont do emissions here in FL. Though I would try and look for the leaks and do a smoke test yourself to find the vacuum leak. Other than that you can pay a reputable BMW independent mechanic about 100 or so dollars to give you a full diagnostic on what your car might need which is always a good thing.
