Turbo oil feeds and rocker cover probably the most common ones

Oil filter housing gaskets are a common area that leak. BM workshop in Grey Lynn are good cats.

 

I have a spare replacement set of new oem Rubbers for that leak if thats your issue.

Could be from a few different places, mine was also dripping from the same sort of location when the oil filter housing gasket failed. I think you also have a n55 not n54

I have an N54 for sure I have two downpipes I know it looks like one from one of the angles of the picture. 

If it's leaking from a few places what would they be. I just wanna go prepared when I go sort my car out!

Oh woops the angle of the photo got me. But it's just hard to guess without having a good look, that area seems to be where the oil runs and collects so it'll be a guessing game without having a proper look

That's not an oil leak!  You should try living with a turbocharged Volvo, that's more like an oil leak! ?

Do you have an N54 aka the oil fountain? On those yes oil leaks are common.

Haha once you get the common areas sorted I believe they're pretty reliable. You guys making me feel better about choosing the N55 ?

Haha that's what I'll do!! 

Remember the N54 can give a lot more power plus its forged, well crank and rods are!!

My 335i had a rocker cover leak at 75,000kms.

How much was this to fix if you don't mind me asking?
