Oil leak badly plugged
« on: September 28, 2016, 04:00:18 PM »

I just fond this...



It is right next to the oil temperature sensor

Not sure what is suppoed to be there but I am pretty sure it isn't that mess of what looks like plastic.

It is (more or less) drip free so until I know exactly what is going on I am unwilling to tug at that mess because when I gently touched it out came a dribble of oil.

I looked at the fiches on MaxBMW and couldn't find a part number, anyone know what it is?

That is the oil pressure switch.......and the other one is water temp sensor, not oil temp sensor.

The leading number 12 in that string is the part's diagram number. The actual part number is 12 61 1 277 642. Clear?
