All in - pulling the 4.6 engine and trans to fix oil leaks once and for all

[romeokc10]

Excellent write-up and pics Stunt, like others I love the garage and lift! I agree with you 1000%, I have a 2002 4.6is and the oil leaks are embarrassing. I haven't had a vehicle leak oil and leave oil stains in my driveway since I bought my first car back in 1983, a 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass! I like how you put the arrow in the pic pointing to the stiffener plate, BMW should come clean and call it what it really is, an oil drip pan...lol! I took mine out after I bought mine to clean it, there was about an 1/8th" mixture of oil and road sand on it, I used up a whole box of SOS pads cleaning it! I think it's totally asinine that in the 21st Century BMW can't design a vehicle (any BMW, they all leak) that won't leak oil all over your driveway! My engine looks just like yours, always wet and soaked in oil in the bottom front, let us know where the leaks are coming from. I tried but couldn't tell where it was coming from, even after several power washes with my pressure washer.
