Road side assistance is on the way...

Got the car back Tuesday after the cold start rattle repair (fixed it) but Wed I noticed oil on the turbo. Yesterday i had the chance to clean it up. Today, top of the turbo is soaked with oil.. I don't like the combo of hot turbo and oil.. BMW said don't drive it, sending someone now.

More to follow.

Valve cover is completely dry. It is directly at the turbo oil line.

Diagnosed as a leaky oil line.. I have to take it in in the morning.. My original 2 year guarantee is up on the 8th... I extended it last month for another year though.
