►A BMW oil filter housing leak is one of the most asked about DIYs that we get when it comes to BMW. Going all the way back to the BMW E36 and E46, a leaky engine oil filter housing has been widespread and continues to be on cars like the BMW F30 with the N20 and N26 engines. Over time, the oil filter housing gasket on these BMW engines dries up, becomes brittle, and shrinks just enough to allow oil to leak through. To access this gasket, it’s a fairly involved job that requires the intake manifold to be removed. Because of that, this DIY also covers how to replace the BMW N20 and N26 intake manifold gasket. Follow along as Gareth Foley, FCP Euro’s BMW Catalog Manager takes us through the entire step-by-step process of removing this BMW F30’s intake manifold and oil filter housing to replace the gaskets on each. If you would like to learn more about the BMW F30 and the N20 and N26 engine, visit our BMW F30 hub at https://bmwf30.fcpeuro.com or read more on our blog at blog.fcpeuro.com/tags/bmw.

I have no intentions of ever owning an N20 and I just watched this whole video. If that's not a testament to Gareth's abilities, I don't know what is.
I love these DIYs! Keep it up! I do like to see if you can find B48/B58 engines in need of replacing the oil housing gaskets. The B48/B58 engines oil housing is in the back of the engine bay and made of plastic!!
do the 328d…. I need to do mine I think…
Can you do a coolant resovir expansion tank replacement
Good job. Is it a coolant leak or an oil leak usually
You do a good job and even though I have a n52 engine I watch most of what you put out that's BMW related because they all kind of relate to each other in one way or another. The only thing you have entirely too many commercials but I mean it is what it is thank you have a great week
Thank you 1st person will be very helpful
