Hello,
I have a 2005 year e46 318i (65.000 km) car and realized that oil is leaking to the ground and skid plate cover from left side of the car. There is no any sign on the display. I just used brake cleaning spray on some of the parts such as oil pan and other parts to clean the excess oil to see where exactly it comes from. Today I just took photos from under the engine and the oil level sensor and 1-2 more parts are really covered with oil. One of the mechanic told me that he will lift the car and engine, will remove the skid plate cover and then take out the oil pan to change the gasket. But it seems that oil level is below the oil pan and the gasket. Does anyone here could tell me where the oil may possible come out?
Thank you
