I'm pretty sure I'm in the right forums... I have a 2012 BMW 335i...
Anyways, I'm trying to find the oil leak in my car. it's been leaking for a month or two now but things have been super busy and I haven't had a chance to work on it yet. I've finaly got some time so I put the car up on some ramps, opened the hood and looked around a bit. Please note that I'm lose 1 quart of oil every 2-3 weeks or so.
I noticed a few things, some oil is pooling around the oil filter, as well as a couple places behind and under neith the oil filter (see images with oil pooling circled). I've also noticed some oil residue around the genearl area of the spark plugs (again see images). looking under the engine cover, i could see what looked like oil splater on the underside around where the oil filter is. I remove the under body (which was completly saturated with oil) and saw that it had a single spot where oil was still pooled. Looking underneith the car, pretty much everything had oil on it.
So... any ideas where this might be coming from? I've already ordered a valve cover gasket, oil cooler gasket, and oil filter gasket to replace since that's what i think the problem is, but thought it would be good to get some feed back from people here.
Please let me know if i can clarify anything. Thanks!!
