oil leak after timing belt, water pump, front seals job

[saxguy09]

Had a local BMW tech to a timing job and replace my seals in the cabby couple weeks ago. Now I have a small oil leak (3-4 drops after parking). I raised the hood and found 2 bolts on the fender, maybe he left something out?! Any common spots to check. Its pretty hard to pinpoint a small leak like that.

2 bolts..... same size & length? 10mm? probably for the cam seal. dunno how he fucked that up.

.........oh and if that's the case, almost everything has to come off again.

It would all have to be done over again if it's the cam seal... did he replace the cam seal?

like Brandon says though, don't know how you fuck that up

You might be able to shine a light between the timing cover and the head and MAYBE see if oil is coming down from up there. Otherwise clean it all up and try and trace the earliest you see new oil. Might be something different, I am recently learning just how many places the E30 can leak oil from...

Go back to that BMW tech and smack him!
