Gaz 1061 Report post Posted June 25, 2017 Turbo oil feeds and rocker cover probably the most common ones Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stevie S 49 Report post Posted June 26, 2017 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Navin 180 Report post Posted June 26, 2017 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benji335i 21 Report post Posted June 26, 2017 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Navin 180 Report post Posted June 26, 2017 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olaf 3317 Report post Posted June 26, 2017 That's not an oil leak! You should try living with a turbocharged Volvo, that's more like an oil leak! ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benji335i 21 Report post Posted June 27, 2017 Lol from that reply I feel its an easy fix like gaskets or o rings or something it's booked in at bm workshop so hopefully it's a quick turn around Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have an N54 aka the oil fountain? On those yes oil leaks are common. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Navin 180 Report post Posted June 27, 2017 Haha once you get the common areas sorted I believe they're pretty reliable. You guys making me feel better about choosing the N55 ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benji335i 21 Report post Posted June 27, 2017 Haha that's what I'll do!! Remember the N54 can give a lot more power plus its forged, well crank and rods are!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
