Oil leaking...help!

xCHICOx · 04-18-2011, 09:12 PM

Long story short, my E92 was at the dealer last week getting the wastegate rattle issue looked at. Supposedly they replaced both turbos or something. Fast forward to this weekend, I'm on a road trip when my oil quantity light comes on. No biggy, added a quart and thought it was good. Tonight coming home from work it goes off again and so immediately I'm thinking leak. I get home and look up under the car (as best i could with no lift) and I can most def see oil leakage/residue. My question is, what should I be on the lookout for now. Could this have any possible trickling side effects?

Be on the lookout for a loaner car in your driveway while the dealership fixes your car.

Are you seriously asking us to diagnose an oil leak over teh internets?

Edit: possible trickling side effects = oil trickling on your driveway. Is this flame?

Get it towed to the dealership and have them examine the car. Obviously they screwed up some-thing.
