Problem with an M roadster

[e30s52]

So my friends car is throwing a check engine light. Each time it does it is a quart low. He just drove 1200 miles and it threw a check light. pulled the dip stick and it was a quart low. He filled it up and 10mins later throws another check light. Its not leaking at all from anywhere that I can see. Any one have an idea of what it could be?

thanks

Well... if it loses a quart of oil in 10 minutes, it's leaking oil. That stuff doesn't just evaporate. Look harder.

Are you putting oil into the right spot? Sounds like you're filling the wrong hole.

[e30s52]

Its the right hole lol. I havent look its my friend who is looking.

sorry it wasnt 10mins it was 1200 miles and then it was a quart low.

ok... Anything that helps out now?

[hugh jass]

has anyone been underneath to see if its wet under the car? how many miles are on the motor?

[e30s52]

Tons of water thats it. 60,000 on the motor. The water has no oil in it ethier.

You should scan it. It will tell you whats wrong.

And scan it with a peake or something BMW specific, not a freaking generic OBDII tool.

Thats next on my list to buy. All I have right now is a genises.

Are you part of a local BMW CCA group? I'd be willing to guess someone there would have a Peake reader.

Thats next on my list to buy.

You're welcome to stop by and use my Peake if needed. I'm in the Wallingford/Greenlake area.
