335d oil leak

daveleach · 03-12-2011, 05:40 AM

i know there are alot of threads about this already but here is my situation.
just moved my car forward about 3 feet, and got some stuff out of boot and reversed back into space, and i notice a trail of oil on the floor.
looked at the red pipe under bonnet and its covered in thick black oil, and all on the top of the undertray.
is it the whole pipe that needs replacing or it is a seal?
is there any other pipes to check for leaks first?

this has been covered quite extensively in another thread and usually the pipe is changed, well known problem
