35d Oil Leak and recall

[Skibum1963]

I have a 2011 X5 35d and have an oil leak that sounds an awful like the same problem suffered by two people in this thread. A couple of drops per day on passenger side under engine. Service advisor said something to my wife about oil line to turbo, but they did not do an extensive look. Without doing the extensive look, he already told my wife that our extended BMW warranty wouldn't cover it. Hmmm...I am trying to get hold of service advisor, but he is not returning phone calls. Another issue entirely. Would love it if I had enough business that I didn't have to return phone calls. Has anyone had a charge air line fixed under extended warranty? I assume because the extended warranty probably does not include coverage of hoses in general, they are using it as an excuse to not cover an oil line? Any ideas?

I have the same issue on my 2011 X5 35d that has about 64k miles on it, and no extended warranty. Did the service adviser give you an estimate? I have an appointment in 2 weeks (fastest they could provide loaner vehicle).

We just got it back from shop. 650 for the repair. Ouch. No hoses covered by extended warranty...

Ouch indeed, the parts are at least $260, and figure $115+/hr for labor it adds up quick.

Can you post relevant service report info including part numbers?
