It was excess grease released from the tensioner. *Hope so..The oil pan gasket was replaced under warranty in IA. Big job, need to remove the entire front axle support to access the oil pan. Its a minimum one day job but I gave them 3 days. Pass them the car on Monday morning, ready on Wednesday morning. :top:Item 1: Front axle support to be dropped to access the oil pan.<img src="http://static.bmwfans.info/images/epc/MTUzMzU5X3A=.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Item 4 was replaced..<img src="http://static.bmwfans.info/images/epc/MTM3NjE2X3A=.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Surprisingly, Item 3 was replace too, that's vacuum pump O-ring.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" /> which cause the wetness around the rocker cover, something I complained the last round, where a rocker cover gasket, another O-ring and a flange was replaced. This is the 2nd time they opened my valve cover.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" /><img src="http://static.bmwfans.info/images/epc/ODQwMjJfcA==.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I think the Item 2 is our valve cover gasket... so thick meh? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" /> Farnee.. <img src="http://static.bmwfans.info/images/epc/MTI3OTI5X3A=.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />By the way, I was so happy thinking I get new engine oil with the job.. guess what.. the joy was short lived when I called them and was confirmed that they "recycle" my oil, keep and pour back in.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />So now u know what they capable of.. any job that require draining of oil, they can "recycle" for you to save your wallet. Otw, it will cost you another what.. RM600 for oil alone!</blockquote>
