Hi 1-series family,
So yesterday I started up the car and noticed a slight squealing noise coming from the engine. I pop open the hood, and see some oil splatters on the charge pipe and (i think) the alternator. See pics, circled in orange..
I wiped off the oil, and drove to work (no hard driving at all). No new oil splatters when reinspecting at end of day..
Two questions:
1) Do you know where the oil could be coming from, and why?
2) Regarding the squealing, could this be caused by oil hitting the belts just beside the charge pipe there, or do you suggest I change the belts and tensioner pulley?
Thanks in advance.
