Oil Leak

[tomsawyer]

Hey Everyone - I have an 05 w/ N62 engine. I have an oil leak and after doing some heavy duty diagnostics, it looks like its coming from the 2 lines that are attached driver side of the engine block. It looks like the 2 hoses attach to a unit and the unit is attached to the driver's side of the engine. That's where the leak appears to be coming from. I believe the other end of the hoses run to the oil cooler.

My question is I took the truck to the my mechanic who's not a BMW mechanic and he's telling me there's no way to get to the 2 hoses and he might need to drop the subframe and/or lift the engine. I haven't done anything yet but wanted to hear from you guys if you are familiar with the 2 hoses and does this repair sound correct?

Thanks to all who answer.
