Arma 134 Report post Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Got what seems to be a oil leak around the pan/gasket area of the gearbox. Guessing it is the transmission oil because of this. Is this a common issue on e39's? I suppose I should take it in to get fixed at some point. Have not noticed any change in behaviour or feel of the transmission while driving though. And there's no easy way to check the trans oil level either it seems! Is this a big job? Or can it be done within a day? Quite busy lately so can't be without the car for very long. This is for the 530i. Any info is appreciated. Edited March 11, 2014 by Arma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have had a minor rocker cover gasket leak for a while now - perhaps that's where it's coming from. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
