Had an oil change and filter change last week, noticed after about 30miles of mixed driving...highway, urban etc, that around the lip of the the oil filter cover and housing when i ran my finger around it a thin film of oil was present when i looked at my finger, basically the width of a needle.....no idea if at last oil n filter change this happened....? i never checked
Guy who changed filter did oil the new 0 ring and put it in the correcct groove on the housing....and seems to be tightened to the correct torque...is there anything i need to do?, should i monitor see if the oil loss gets worse? or should i loosen the oil filter cap perhaps in case it was overightened...not too keen on tightening it more bcos i hear these plastic caps break...any ideas much appreciated....or should i just go buiy another filter?
would the same as here apply for the X5
