N55 with oil cooler gasket leak?

adepaola · 06-20-2017, 08:12 PM

Hi all,

Looked under my hood today and noticed a thick drop of oil, very sticky. Looked around and it looks like my oil filter gasket is leaking, at least i hope thats what it is. I seached and couldnt find any DIY for my situation the n55 with added oil cooler, anyone have any tips? Pretty pissed since i just did the radiator 2 months ago, wish i paid closer attention so i could have done this as well. Car is a 2011 with only 44,000 on the clock. If anyone thinks im misdiagnosing from my pictures please let me know!

Looks like the telltale sign of an OFHG leak. DIY isn't bad, you just need to loosen the intake manifold because of one sneaky bolt in the back.
