Oil Pan Gasket Leak

Hi All, I brought my 2012 X5 (86K mile N55) in to BMW Service after seeing a bunch of small drops of oil on the garage floor. SA says the oil is coming from the oil pan gasket ($2700 repair), but may also be coming from the main seal ($2400 repair) given the amount of oil leaking. They advised to replace the oil pan gasket, clean the area, then drive the car a few thousand miles to see if the main seal is also leaking. Seems logical enough.



My question for the forum is...given that they have to drop the suspension for the repair, are there any other items I should have them inspect or proactively replace while they have the suspension down?


Many thanks!



2012 X5 35i, Sport Pack, no adaptive steering or drive, no air suspension.
