This BMX X5 shows why mechanics hate SUVs

The diagnosis of an oil leak on every car is difficult. You can see The stream of dribbling oil directly there and drips from the corner of the oil pan or another easily accessible component. Ah, but the oil is there Nownot where it came from. Find, diagnosis and fix the origin of the leak; This is the friction.

Even our final hero in the M539 Restorations channel on YouTube – published the dozens of restoration videos – has problems with this. Of course, this special BMW does not make the task easier.

It is a BMW X5 of the E70 generation, which was built in 2008. The X5 has been the Bavarian brand flagship for 20 years. During this time, the X5 has only become more competent, capable and indeed more complex. This example shown in the video is powered by the BMW N62 engine, a naturally sucked V-8 from around 2001 to 2010.

Despite a lack of turbos and associated components, there is a lot between Srene and an oil leak diagnosis. For example, the N62 has three invisible connections on the back of its intake manifold, which must be separated from the distributor of the covering. And that is at the top of the tangle of rat nest lines that cross the distributor in all directions that had to be freed first.

We are calling for more and more of our SUVs with every generation jump, and this applies especially to the BMW flagship. In fact, these are incredible SUVs, but you won't find much fun to lie under one and to look for the source Drop drops.
