Now it's at the dealer for this, they are waiting on approval to change the gasket. Any thoughts on what would cause lower oil pan gasket to leak. Over fill of oil? The car is really babied with couple pulls here and there. 9k miles on it.
Thanks
Could just be a botched install honestly, or could just be leaking from so.ewhere else like say front diff that was over filled or from filling oil up top and spilling everywhere.
Gotcha thanks! it's been a week and waiting for bmw to approve the gasket change, annoying. The lead foreman wants to change it out of precaution and I guess bmw claims it's not possible it can be leaking so they did the dye test, not sure of the results as I'm too pissed to call back.
