Why Your BMW X3

Engine Is Leaking

Oil

•

So, your BMW X3 engine is leaking oil…

And, you’re completely clueless about its

source.

•

We can help you trace the leak.

HOW COMMON IS IT?

•

 BMW X3 models are known

for their reliability…

•

But as they age, they become

susceptible to oil

leaks―particularly from the

engine area.

Early detection of such leaks can help

avoid expensive

engine repairs

 down

the road.

COMMON CAUSES OF

OIL LEAKS IN BMW

X3

#1- WORN SEALS/

GASKETS

Seals and gaskets help a car engine

with the following things;

Maintaining optimal compression

within the cylinder

Preventing oil and coolant

leaks

Prohibiting dirt, dust, and other

contaminants from entering the engine

Degradation of these rubber-made

components can result in an

 oil leak

among other problems.

#2- OIL FILTER ISSUE

The filter has a very specific purpose… it removes dirt

and debris from the

engine oil.

•

Any form of deformities in this

particular component of your BMW

X3 can result in

a leak.

•

Oil

may also escape the system,

if the

 filter

 is not installed

correctly.

#3- CRACKS IN ENGINE

COMPONENTS

 If the

oil pan

 or engine block sustains

any form of damage,

oil will leak out

of the system.

Cracks in key engine components, if not

repaired on time, can result in

 expensive

repairs down the road.

You might have to deal with issues such

as

 compression loss

and

engine fluid

intermixing.

#4- OIL LINE PROBLEMS

Lines facilitating oil supply and return,

if gets damaged, can also lead to

oil

loss and engine issues.

•

There can be many different

reasons why oil may

leak out

of these lines…

•

... cracks developed due to

thermal stress being the

most obvious one.

#5- OIL OVERFILLING

 Adding too much of oil to the system can

also result in

oil leaks.

CONSEQUENCES OF

IGNORING AN OIL LEAK

Oil leaks can contribute to a myriad of drivability

issues in a vehicle, such as…

Serious engine

damage

 Reduced toque

output

 Cost implications of

delayed repairs

 It can also pose

environmental risks.

IN  C O N C L U S I O N

If your BMW X3 engine is leaking oil,

don’t take it for granted.

Identify the source of the leak and have

it fixed at a nearby service center.
