Oil leak after bench flash

Evening guys,

I’m seriously beginning to regret modding my 2013 135i. It’s been issues ever since. My question today is, when a shop “bench flashed” the car so I can use MHD. Did they have to remove anything that would cause an oil leak? Or is this just a coincidence? Ever since they bench flashed the car it’s been leaking oil badly. I can’t find the source. Can’t decide if I should bring it back to the same shop, or just bring it to BMW. Any help appreciated.

It's probably your ofhg. Where are you seeing oil? The bench flash should not have cause anything to start leaking but if you look at the ofh the wrong way it will leak lol

The flash has nothing to do with the oil leak. It’s likely been leaking, however you just noticed because you’ve been paying closer attention to the car since having it worked on. I would start with finding the source of the leak and go from there.

Extremely likely it was a coincidence.
