Hi All
I have a BMW E46 318i LCI with the N42 Motor.
Before I book the car (and order the parts) I would like some input.
The car has a rather hectic leak which seems MOST efficient at leaking just after the car is turned off. I suspect the following:
Tappet Cover Gasket
Vacuum Pump O Ring
A look at Real-OEM suggests those are the only two gaskets near the back of the motor and as it seems the oil is being "pushed" out after you turn the car off I am inclined to think its the Vacuum Pump O Ring.
Anyone got any opinions? I see its not a difficult job, but for the purpose of getting it all done at once, is there anything else I should be sorting?
The oil drips on the exhaust manifold.
Thanks!
Mike
