dont get regular oil changes.
14
OIL PAN GASKET
This gasket seal lies between the metal oil pan
and the engine block.

Mostly, leaks through oil pan gasket occurs due
to infrequent oil changes.
16
VALVE COVER GASKET
The valve cover gaskets are long and made of thin
metal and have leaking problems.

These gaskets are easily accessible for
replacement as they are right on top of your
engine.
18
TIMING COVER GASKET
The timing cover gasket is at the front of your
BMW engine.

The timing system is splash lubricated so leaks
from the timing cover gasket are often slow leaks.

AND DO NOT FORGET
The engine oil leaks are mainly due to the seals
that are made of rubber,

So, it is advised to check them and replace when
they become hard.

Make sure your BMW is being serviced regularly
and getting the required oil changes.
