[QUOTE="danc, post: 202885, member: 2441"] My E90 sprung an oil leak! Hi everyone, Just want to share with all of you here. The dreaded day of owning a conti car has arrived for me. After driving my 325 for 9000+ km, this week I saw a couple of oil patches on my driveway! Just last week I drove back from Pg and was doing a couple of high speed runs, not sure if this caused it and saw my oil level has dropped a little. Thought it was normal as most owners reported this as well. So took my car to AB, jacked it up and they comfirmed that the leak was coming from the fly wheel oil seal. To rectify, this would be a 1 day job as they said they needed to remove the gear box to get to that seal. :confused: So going to send my car in on Mon and get my 10,000 km oil change done at the same time. I have never had an oil leak throughout all my past cars and now from an E90. Hmm sometimes I just wonder if these germans know how to make reliable engines. Powerful, yes, reliability :mad:. So guys/gals watch out for this! [/QUOTE]
