an oil leak from the timing cover area (which has nothing to do with sealing the cylinders) doesn't mean the head gasket is blown.

Find out for sure this weekend, it's being towed to the house for it's 4th starter replacement. Bought a duralast gold starter with a lifetime warranty, this will be it's 3rd free replacement, best deal I ever made!

It's still a 325i - Last state registration/inspection it had around 266328 miles on it, with proper maintenance - this car still runs and drive great!
