Problem overview

Some BMW 328i xDrive owners report experiencing oil leaks primarily due to issues with the valve cover and valvetronic motor gaskets. These gaskets can harden and crack over time, leading to oil seepage from the engine. Additionally, a failing valvetronic motor gasket may also contribute to oil leaks. It is crucial for owners to address these gasket problems promptly to prevent further oil leaks and potential engine damage. If oil leaks are suspected, a professional inspection is recommended to accurately identify and resolve the source of the leaks.
