Yeah, I've read that diy thread by dville front to back, and while it's not something I'd want to tackle myself in my basement, I'm confident that I'm not going to be killed on the labor by my local mechanic.

I'm actually pretty happy that the "oil leak" is most likely the power steering hose.

I'm just not very confident in the service deparment at the BMW dealer, to be 0-for-2 on the diagnosis on this vehicle.
