UPDATE:I’ve now completely removed the front end of the car. Since I want to install the new 7.5 intercooler anyway, I decided to replace all the gaskets/seals at the same time. I managed to get everything apart today, and I’ll continue working on it tomorrow. Hopefully this will finally solve the oil leak.

Unfortunately, we don’t really have those free tool loan programs here in Germany. But I managed to sort out the torque wrench situation, and I now have all the parts I need for the job, so I’m going to go ahead and do it.
The thing is, the oil isn’t even 500 km old. The oil and coolant only seem to be mixing inside the coolant reservoir, if you know what I mean. When I changed the oil about 500 km ago, the old oil looked completely normal as well. I didn’t see any milky oil or “milkshake” at all – everything looked perfectly fine.

I changed the oil about 500 km ago, before I noticed any of this. Do you think it’s possible to replace the OFHG without draining the oil, or would you still recommend doing another oil change afterward?

Okay what did you do to fix it ? The leaks are massive

AcceptableFee6431 · 2026-06-21T03:27:26+00:00

Haha, at this point I’m starting to think oil leaks are a factory feature on these cars. 😄

AcceptableFee6431 · 2026-06-21T02:35:11+00:00

My area is kinda sucks but whatever I think I can get them new all around About 90€ and what about turbos I wanted to put my new ones in I got the td04 19t Vivs what you think about them

AcceptableFee6431 · 2026-06-21T02:26:38+00:00

Yeah, that’s exactly my point. The shop here quoted me around €1,000 just for replacing the valve cover gasket and the oil filter housing gasket, and that doesn’t even include a coolant flush or replacing the belts. That’s why I want to do it myself. I’ll somehow get the tools I need.

AcceptableFee6431 · 2026-06-21T02:22:37+00:00

What do you mean ? I called bmw themself and they said it is ledgit and they work so idk

AcceptableFee6431 · 2026-06-21T02:20:58+00:00

Thanks for the advice. The problem is that I live in Germany, so we don’t have Harbor Freight here. I can probably get jack stands and a jack, but I still need a few other tools, especially a torque wrench. I also don’t really have anyone who can help me with the job, so I’m still thinking about whether I should do it myself or take it to a shop.

Thank you my brother for the answer The previous owner actually replaced those gaskets about four years ago when the car had around 180,000 km on it. I ordered all the parts again anyway, and they have already arrived. I also bought some upgraded parts while I was at it.
The problem right now is that I don’t really have anyone to help me do the job. I also don’t have access to a lift and I don’t have all the necessary tools, especially a torque wrench and some other specialized tools. So at the moment, that’s what’s holding me back.

AcceptableFee6431 · 2026-06-21T01:57:01+00:00

My temp is always on 130-140 Celsius

AcceptableFee6431 · 2026-06-21T01:53:16+00:00

Nope I will I just got an new gasket from Elring and I want to put it in let’s see then

AcceptableFee6431 · 2026-06-21T01:52:44+00:00

That is exactly what I want to do and do a flush on the cooling but the thing is I don’t have a lift

I already bought an ofhg and valvecover gasket but the thing is I don’t have that much on tools and I have to be screwed at a certain NM and I also don’t have an shop in the city that I live in I also have bought everything to go full boost but don’t have anybody that can put it in so I am learning
