Hi there, new to the forum


I purchased my my E90 2006 320d in April and noticed an oil drip, I looked under car and noticed it collecting at the start of exhaust pipe. I took it to a garage and they changed the breather filter and it fixed the problem. Anyway... Last week I noticed a smell from blowers when at a stand still , I looked under car and noticed that the oil had returned in exactly the same place! I've done roughly 5k miles since having breather done. Could that have gone again? I'm not sure the oil leak/smell are related.
Thanks

If its the vortex breather it shouldnt have blocked up that quickly.

Really need to see where its coming from tbh.

thanks for reply, I didn't know there were different types of breathers so haven't got a clue which one has been put on. Just seems strange to me the oil is in the same spot, which leads me to believe it's the breather again. Is there a type of breather that shouldn't be out on then? Thanks
