This is a four-cylinder turbo f30, what can leak from here around the turbo? Just fixed the valve cover leak and all is good there. There is a small leak here though, not sure what gaskets can be there.

Hi,

There is an oil feed line to the turbo that is known to fail and leak. Actually, BMW has extended the warranty to 10 years /120K miles. I noticed you are slightly over. But you may want to contact a dealer and let them know it's been leaking for some time and you didn't know there was an issue.

If you look below, I attached the technical service bulletin for your review.

Let me know how things turn out for you or if I can help in any way.

Take care,

Joe

I'll try tomorrow. What if they won't cover it, do you have instructions on how to replace it?

Hi,

I'm sure I can find directions. However, let them know if has been leaking for some time. Hopefully, since you are so close, they will take care of it. If they don't, you may even want to consider a zone rep (customer rep) and complain to them.

Let me know how things turn out for you.

Take care,

Joe
