Sounds like a different issue. Mine as well as well as the 2 others on this thread had oil leaking through a bad seal on the charge air hose. Per Ard's replies, why there was oil in there in the first place is a concern, and hopefully they just didn't put a seal to contain oil that isn't supposed to be there in the first place.....Interestingly, when I look on OEM.com with the part numbers that dmfelger provided, they show different part numbers for the seal on X5 units produced before 4/09......Makes me wonder if they realized they had a defective part and changed it. I bought mine 2/09...Hmmmmm.

Well, sounds like your problem is with intercooler hose, which is different. Mine did not kick off a CEL. I just noticed the oil on the ground.....

Good luck!
