oil leak

Acekid187 · 10-13-2014, 11:18 PM

Ok i have 07 E92. I recently replaced the valve cover gasket due to a leak. Now under the car on my DPs and trans there is oil everywhere. I will post some pics I the morning. Just winder what you guys might think it's coming from. Once the car runs for a good while. Smoke will begun to rise up from the passenger side of the engine bay. Any advice would be greatly appreciate .

O yeah also there seams to be oil on the rear turbo intake

The rear turbo generally has a bit of oil in the compressor if you don't have a catch can. Post pics of the rest and we can guess where it's coming from.

Check the gasket on the oil cooler.I had mine leak and would run Down the pipes and drip around the turbo area.replaced gasket and cleaned everything with brake cleaner and so far nothing.

+1 This happened to me also and i was going nuts trying to find the leak other than oil filter gasket and there was a ton of oil leftover all on the under side of the engine for awhile i thought there was another leak but all appears to be good ATM

-Did you possibly pinch the valve cover gasket in the rear when installing it? It can also fall out of the gasket channel in the rear... This will cause a decent amount of oil to leak

OK will be posting pics very soon.Just gotta get my var back to the lift. I checked the valve cover gasket all the way around. Doesnt seem to be coming from that at all. I also looked near the intake mani and its look very brown. Not sure what that means.
