I think I found a couple more leaks while cleaning it and preparing everything. It looked like I had a intake CPS sensor wicking oil. The connection on the engine wiring loom breakout box had oil in that CPS connector and the boot was wet as well. I pulled the boot back and it was filled with oil. The rest of the wiring up to the CPS and the CPS itself was dry so I think it must have been coming down inside the wiring from the sensor itself. I put a new intake CPS on it just in case.

Another leak looks like the selector shaft on the side of the GM A5S390R transmission. Ordered that seal as well. Just need to figure out how to remove it and install it properly.

Poor baby, just hemorrhaging at 180,000 miles.

There's a tool for that: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DJF7J9S...QWY68I4V&psc=1

I've been looking at those tools and there is some back and forth discussion about the length of the tool to get at the BMW location. That tool for GM transmissions is available at the local auto parts store but it is the long one like 5150 listed. I like the short one Wayne posted. Do you know who makes that one?

To steal from the 914 guys. "If it's not leaking, it doesn't have oil in it."

Besides, BMW dealerships don't call it leaking, they call it "controlled seepage."

I went ahead and just ordered the factory tool kit Special Tool #83 30 0 491 781 and includes the following:

24 5 361 Threaded bush
24 5 362 Union nut
24 5 363 Bush
24 5 364 Nut
24 5 365 Slip sleeve
24 5 366 Bush

This tool costs $45 from the dealer and they had to order from BMW AG in Germany. It looks really small and it offers the right way to do it with bushings and slip sleeves to protect the seal in and out in the car avoiding the front driveshaft. I read a lot of problems using the generic GM tool. Here is the TIS using the BMW tool.

Hell those 914 guys stole it from Chinook crew chiefs.

Freaking thing is the only chopper that looks like 2 palm trees screwing a dumpster and that I have personally seen them add hydraulic fluid to the system while flying
