08 E70 3.0si Oil leak? (pics inside)
Hi all,
I just picked up a used, one-owner 2008 X5 3.0si with 73K on the clock from a local BMW dealer. Before putting it on the lot, the dealer replaced the valve cover gasket, oil filter housing gasket, all coils and plugs, new tires, and 2 wheel bearings.
I decided to pull the belly pans off this weekend and have a look from underneath. I've heard of oil pan gasket leaks on the N52 and wanted to see if they overlooked this, or any other issues I could detect with the naked eye.
I saw a 2 small drips of oil on the flat bottom of the oil pan, but couldn't quite see where it originated from. I also saw a piece on the back of the engine where it mates with the transmission that was a bit wet. Can you take a look and let me know if this something I should be concerned with? The dealer gave me a 3 month goodwill warranty on any repairs it would need.
Thx
