It would be a wise idea to get the car up on ramps or on a lift and pull the under engine plastic cover and take a good look at where the pan is actually leaking and keep an eye on the oil level.

There's no traces of oil leaks from the VCG or OFHG. I see oil in the plastic pan, so that's coming from down below. Either the front main bearing or the oil pan gasket. In both cases, further evaluation as to the rate of leaking is needed. These are expensive and somewhat unecessary repairs until they get really bad, which must often is never. If you see oil on the accessory belt, it needs to be addressed asap. Last edited by Meeni; 01-08-2018 at 01:27 AM.. |

Valve Cover Gasket Leak
A mechanic suggested that my 2008 BMW 328i need these services:
Valve Cover Gasket ($700), VCG assembly ($650), and spark plugs ($150). Which one (s) is most important to do now? Are prices reasonable? Why do I need both VCG and assembly (I do not understand these terminologies). Thanks. |
