weeping oil.

:Take on side of the gasiter off and have a look to see wuere the oil is comming from, i.e. down from the gear box or up out of the bevel box.
that way you'll have some idea whats wrong. The only way to see about warrenty is to go and see your nice BMW dealer and enquire. Bear in mind that once you have ascertained where the oil is comming from you can at least advise BMW's what the problem is. Hve you opver filled the bevel box or gear box? just a silly thought.

Then take the filler plug off the gearbox and finaldrive and see which is low on oil.

No good asking us any of us if we'd do the warranty work
your BMW dealer is the only one who can answer that .

how much. garbo

Leave it a while after you've wiped it dry. I've fretted about this in the past, seems to have cured itself.




Unless the gearbox FD are running dry
