So I noticed I am losing oil at a somewhat high rate(ballpark half a quart in less than 1k miles).I took a peak under the car over the weekend and noticed oil was covering a good majority of the under carriage.(made it hard to see where it was coming from) I took some pics, and my initial thought was oil pan gasket, but I am wondering if the oil filter housing could be the cause of this mess, so I tried to see the side of the block from the engine bay, and I do see some oil there as well. Lets just hope I dont need both... *vehicle is a 2003 330xi 135k
CCV and VCG have been done (dealer repaired right before I bought it)
FYI, I searched for a forum/thread on this but didnt see one, my apologizes if I missed it!
