Oil Sep return hose
Is it a 4.4?
Are you talking about this part? Part 9? RealOEM.com BMW E53 X5 4.4i Crankcase-Ventilation/oil separator That was a pain, but it can be done. You will need to almost put your body into the engine bay leaning over. A small mirror helped me see down there. (like the dentist uses) If that part is leaking it might be a leading indicator that your 2nd oil separator is failing too. (also called a cover here) Part 2. RealOEM.com BMW E53 X5 4.4i Intake manifold system Pressure build up from the cover failing can cause that hose to fail. First weak point. Then you might have positive crank pressure that makes oil come out of the oil cap. That can be much bigger a job if you need to replace it. But can be a DIY. I did it. |

The problem I have looks like the one described here but still I will need your urgent feedback before the dealer opens my engine with open bank check!! So, start the engine, normal, no smoke no engine noise just a normal wonderful powerful vehicle.. Waiting around 5-10 minutes, push on the fuel pedal white smoke goes out from the passenger side exhaust then disappears completely waiting another 5 minutes and push again white smoke appear !! drive, stop at traffic light or side, push fuel , white smoke.. but while idle or driving no smoke at all Add to that, around every 1-2K mile, oil is consumes by almost a liter and I have to add oil from time to time , search with the technician around the engine,,, not symptoms for oil leak! Would it be the Oil Separator as you all say! And if so is it something complicated to do and requires to take out the engine in order to replace it? |
Did u check your oil level. The dealer had put to much oil and when I hit the gas that would happen. I think it's oil getting into the cat. I suppose a faulty oil separater might do it.

I guess something could be getting plugged up with the oil separator causing oil to get into the exhaust.

Only one side is smoking?
From what I remember the oil seperator would make both banks smoke since the intake manifold is shared by both banks on the v8.
Or maybe it just leaks into one side better.:dunno: Also check hose 4 and 5 RealOEM.com * BMW E53 X5 4.4i Crankcase-Ventilation/oil separator Those need to be replaces about every 3 years. Luke |
i sent my X to the workshop today to check whats wrong with the white smoke and they made a checkup and adviced that it needs to open the engine as the oil is going into the cylenders :( i was still hping they would tell me that only OS or hoses would need a change like ther other people, and i wish to belive that they are lieing at me bcoz opening the engine it self will cost tooooo much beside the parts :((((
