      Cleaning up the engine bay first should make the leaks a little more obvious.

        Well I just replaced my oil filter housing gasket on my 2006 this weekend. Dealer wanted to charge me like $650 to replace it cause of a tiny tiny leak. The gasket is a $20 part and I did it myself. Not sure if my knowledge can help you on your car though.

          See below, post 18, for the oil filter housing leak. Applicable to M42 engine.

          I just did mine on my 328 last summer. One of the simpler jobs. Take off the oil filter cap first (lets the oil drain out of the housing).

          Why can't the Maples just be happy in their shade?

            Work in a shop in Ripon area, if you have not taken care of it yet let me know. Got lots of tools and a hoist ;).
