Car is a e90 330d pre lci

As above something is leaking oil either the swirl flaps or inlet manifold so gonna change the swirl flaps and if it's still leaking oil then it's a new manifold thought I would try the cheap fix first.

Thanks

Matt

Cheers fella I'll get them ordered with new seals hopefully will cure the leak if not a new manifold

swirl flap o rings leaking under boost. They nearly all do this , tell tale runs down the block. The blanks should cure it.

I'm hoping that it is the seals as its £400 for a new manifold. Gonna get it sorted this weekend give the engine a good clean and see if the leaking stops once the blanking plates and new seals are in

dont really see you needing new manifold. when youve got it off check for any cracks etc or damage. change all manifold gasket seals and may aswell change EGR one aswell.

the kits off ebay dont give you the small 5p seals theres 6 of them too not sure of partr num

That's the kit off eBay I've seen is this the right one 33mm.

Do you know where I could get the smaller seals from?
