A big thank you to @fcpeuro for sponsoring today’s video! Head over to www.fcpeuro.com for all of your BMW and European parts needs!
In todays video ill be showing you how to diagnose and repair BMW’s most common oil leak across so many different engines! This same process applies to the N20, N51, N52, N54, and N55. The process varies just a little bit but is very similar for the most part. This job shouldn’t be ignored and should be fixed as soon as possible to prevent failure of the upper radiator hose, coolant flange hose, and serpentine belt. I hope this video is helpful, and I will link the parts and tools used down below!
