Thought your BMW 430i oil leak meant a new oil filter housing? Think again. In Part 2 I show you the diagnosis that saved my customer a $1,200 bill — and the actual fix. I'm Mike, mechanic and shop foreman, and this is the kind of call I get every week.
This is the reveal: why the oil filter housing was NOT the problem, and what the real culprit was. If you've been quoted a big job for an oil leak, watch this before you spend a dime.
