BMRBOI 8 Report post Posted March 29, 2011 Hi guys. Well my car has developed an oil leak… it’s a 92 m50 325i. It seems to be leaking from around the oil filter housing?? Is there any common oil leak places I should be looking at? Its hard to pin-point the leak because oil has travelled all over the side of the block and onto the sump, steering rack etc. Is it much of a mission to remove the oil filter housing? I know my description is vague, I will try get a picture when the sun comes out. Cheers Niroy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BMRBOI 8 Report post Posted March 30, 2011 Have got some pictures now. Im pretty sure that it is leaking from the housing, almost looks like its leaking from around the rear gasket or just below the oil pressure sensor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMRBOI 8 Report post Posted March 30, 2011 Hi Brent, I have noticed that the oil filter housing on a vanos engine is different to a non-vanos. They seem to have issues with o-rings which is located around the vanos banjo. The diagrams show a difference looks like i have a simlier leak on my 328i i have orded a new gasget that goes between the oil filter housing and the engine block also got a new rocker cover gasget .
