^I wish oil leaks were as easy to fix on the 4.4i. I've got a gusher coming from the driver's side VC and upper timing cover. Possibly also the alternator bracket. Going to do it all (have parts) when I can spare a weekend. Debating whether or not to do valve seals at the same time.

I don't care about it. It is 6 accounts. I respond immediately to the important ones.

today I changed the spark plugs
good job really they were horrible. the drivers bank (your passenger if you are American) the I think gasket has gone as they was a little oil in the plug recesses and on the same bank 2 of the coil packs were loose, missing nuts and one with the earth straps didn't even have a nut on
all fixted now tho, blowing a little crud out of the back end but its all nice
plus I removed the washer bottle as it stunk of rotten eggs, . cleaned removed the pong and re fitted

Order the Genuine BMW VC gaskets, no OEM or aftermarket.

Seem those who go cheap on these item have leaking issues after replacement or need the job redone a yr or two later.

You get what you pay for on these gaskets.

Got my gaskets/O-rings (Genuine BMW) from ECS tuning for around $120 USD.
