Oil leaks are common on many BMW models, especially as the car gets older or the kilometres increase.

A small leak may only look like a few drops on the ground, but it can get worse over time. If left too long, it may cause low engine oil, burning oil smells, smoke, messy underbody build-up and possible engine damage.

Common BMW oil leak areas include the rocker cover gasket, oil filter housing gasket, sump gasket, turbo oil lines and timing cover area.

At WA Auto Service Center, we inspect the leak properly and confirm where it is coming from before recommending repairs.

Fixing an oil leak early helps protect your engine and can prevent bigger repair costs later.
