I'm currently having this problem too but it's n54 with 120k on the clock. I'm about to send my car in for my every 10k interval service. Anyone having this problem on a n54 lately??

The oil filter housing like someone mention above is about $300.

Mine looks exactly the same as in the pic. No idea of the service history of the car. n54 140km.
Also, why would the coolant need to be played with if it's only around the oil filter n stuff? Isn't that completely separate? Last edited by Testercles; 05-30-2014 at 01:54 AM.. |

Mine seem to have a small stain there as well, my car is at ~83,000km.
It also seem to uses about ~500ml of oil (according idrive) every 10,000km-12,000km. |

For comparison purposes I called Adelaide BMW for a quote and the SA said yeah there's two gaskets in there, for $400 we'll fix that up and do an oil service at the same time.
That seems like exceptionally reasonable value coming from a stealership. |

sorry to bring this back from the grave. But I'm having a similar issue on a z4 and came across this thread. My question is, if the oil is coming out where the housing meets the oil cap,where you screw the cap on, why would the issue be the housing gasket??? If it was the housing gasket (not the round gasket that goes on the oil cap), the the leak would not be where the picture is. The leak would be where the housing gasket is (which you can't see in the picture), and you'd have to remove the housing to see it. The gasket is under the area of what you see in the original picture. I hope that makes sense.....or am I missing something?
I have a suspicion the dealership fixed the issue with a new $2 seal/gasket (the top one in the picture below), and the "specialist" and bmw walked away with a nice chunk of change. In my case, I think I put the large round oil cap gasket in the wrong groove. But I think I'd tried both grooves in the past and had the same issue. Except the oil "streamed" out where the round gasket is. I need to check tomorrow, hopefully, my clutzself put it in the wrong groove. I doubt I did the same groove 3 times with 3 different gaskets though. |
