Oil Filter Cover...
After pulling my stiffening plate and seeing all the caked on grimy dirt and oil, I am wondering if it is because of my Oil Filter Cover. See, the oil drain plug in the cover has been jammed in there for as long as I have had the vehicle, so when I change the oil, I just remove the entire cartridge cover all at once - that's when a lot of oil goes flying. If you are able to remove the drain plug in the cover first, I would think that will lessen the amount of oil that splashes around. Is this so?

- You can leave the stiffening plate out of the car, but make sure you tighten the 16-mm bolts that hold the sway bar. save the other bolts to re-install later.
- Then clean the engine with rag, Purple power and water etc. Now the engine is clean, you can monitor oil leak daily. I wrote the detail here: https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/...se-fluids.html
