hiii everyone, I come to you because I have a problem and I would have liked your different opinions.
I have oil oozing at the valve cover as well as at the intake. I also find that my oil cap is greasy.
in my research I saw that the pcv valve could be involved and its malfunction would lead to too much pressure. i had order a new pcv valve for try.
I attach photos for you to see the problem.

Regarding the car, it is an r60 184hp with 107000 miles, i had the oil change at 103000 with 5w30 castrol edge C3.

thanks for your help

I had that problem too, and finally just replaced the cam sensor. I tried a few o-rings first which didn't work.

''if you take it out you'll see it's a bit of an odd design, the screw is off to one side of the actual sensor. I just got one off Amazon.

 

first of all thank you for your answer. I note for the change of cam sensor. But is there a link with the oil on the pipe that goes to the intake of the turbo?


I will also change the pvc valve I receive today (it can not do worse I think).
last question what does this sensor correspond to?


thank you

 

ok I just saw that it was another cam sensor, so I will order a new sensor to replace the leaking one, change the pcv valve, clean everything and I will come back to tell you.
