On Thur, I rented a local lift to replace a bad O2 sensor on a Acadia. It's way up high and hard to reach from below. The job was super easy with a lift. Friday, I return in the X5. Using some steel bendable wire, both front drains are snaked. The left side had wet mud. I knew that drain worked okay. The right side was completely dry. Dry dirt was coming out. Next, remove the pillar covers to tie wrap the plastic hose. The right is kinked for sure.
The front lower air cover came down too. The right side has a small oil leak. Sure enough, the common oil pan corner has been leaking for a while. I tightened up all the bolts I could reach. When the front axle shafts are replaced, the oil pan gasket will be replaced. The remaining OEM suspension parts don't look too bad. All the remaining big links are going to be replaced.
