Workshop would love to see you though because they are the one that laughing to the bank.Unless the leak is serious, like the crank seal which can damage the timing belt leading to overhaul risk, then yes, immediate attention is necessary. Hence knowing and understanding your leak is important. Some leaks can wait and only get fix together with other bigger jobs.For high compression high horsepower car like BMW, leak is something unavoidable. No point breaking your piggy bank over minor leaks. Of course no one is stopping you to drop your engine every other month to replace seals prematurely as preventive maintenance should your bank a/c in deep enough.Many say BMW maintenance cost is high. The above of course is one of the contributing factor. Don't let costly leak fix affair deter your driving passion in an ultimate driving machine. Some leaks can wait.. :4:</blockquote>
