2011 X5 E70 N63 Sudden Oil Leak - FIXED !!!

[Jim Daniel]

Life has been good and my tt4.4 has been running like a Swiss watch.
I am a professional mechanic and know that I can tackle any job, and was smart enough to buy an "extended warranty" cause I can't poop out $8k dollar transmissions and $30k motors.

Today I hop in my ride, and she is so fine, and I start her up and get the RED - Low oil pressure Warning .... I'm like, WTheck.

Restart her a few times, same thing. after a couple minutes, I hear the motor looking for oil. I brush the snow off the hood, and pop it, wishing there was an oil stick.

Then I notice a huge puddle of oil under the engine

WTH is going on ????

The car is overdue for an oil change, and coincidentally, UPS just dropped off the new filter and 10q Castrol. Looks like passenger side, but can't tell with the shield on. We're talking ... Major Instant Oil Leak

I'm HOPING clogged filter, blew o-ring, and other than a HUGE mess, I can handle this tomorrow (before the snow storm)

Any and All opinions on the problem are welcome !!!

Holy Crap, my baby almost bled out on my driveway
