HI
My 316i leaks oil at the back of the engine, drips on the exhaust, and leaves a small amount on the floor every few days. Iv had the valve cover gasket replaced and old oil cleaned up. but after a few days the problem reoccured. i followed my hand around the top of the engine. at the back of the engine left hand side, i can feel oil again , there is a component around there but i dont know what it is or cant see it properly.
Has anyone else had a similar oil leak or know whats causing this
Thanks guys
