R56 What could be leaking?
What could be leaking?
Yesterday i went to pick up my girlfriend and when i got to her house the inside of the front passenger rim had like oil spread around in it and it was coming on to the tire. Then last night i parked the car in the garage and this morning when i left there was a wet spot about 8 in by a foot big it was about 8 in over from the tire and a little to the back. When I got home from work tonight there was no spot or residue on the floor. The engine oil seams to be good from what i can tell. What could it be. Any ideas would be greatly welcomed. Thank You all

I just went through this yesterday at the dealer, while mine wasn't as bad as you describe, it was in the same general area. Mine was the timing chain tensioner bolt seal. They removed it, changed the crush washer to a new style, "added" some o-ring (that was disclosed to me the factory inadvertently left off), reinstalled and torqued. No leaks today, we'll see if it's stopped in the long run I guess.
