Oil leak + Oil smell
I'm noticing a 6" circumference oil spot under the car after a few hours. If I ride the car hard then stop....I'll smell oil.
What are the common spots for oil leaks besides valve cover that I should look for? This happened directly after I changed from 5w30 to 0w40 oil. I realized I wasn't using BMW approved oil and wanted to make sure I was. Coincidence? Maybe. I have dps + jb4. Thoughts? |

Time to remove your belly pan and check for leaks/drops.
Other common leaking areas are: * rear crankshaft seal(behind the flywheel/clutch * oil filter housing (OFH) * cracked valve cover * vanos sensors
