Problem overview

Some BMW 328i xDrive owners report experiencing oil leaks, often attributed to a failing oil filter housing gasket. This issue is common among both 6 and 4 cylinder BMW models, as the gasket tends to leak due to aging and hardening over time. When the oil filter housing gasket fails, it can lead to noticeable oil seepage, which may require immediate attention to prevent further complications.
