Leaking oil seals

[max88]

Hey guys brought my 2007 323i in for scheduled service and they found some problem. They called and said that my oil seals are broken and need to be replaced because oil is leaking. I am not sure exactly which seals are broken, but it's 800 bucks for one and 1000 for the other. I have warranty as well, just wondering if that sounds right to u guys and how did problem arose .

depends on what is leaking.

I think she said the seal on the oil filter and on the fly wheel? Not exactly sure, I was gana pay it no matter what just wanted a second opinion? Has any one else had one of those problems

a rear main seal requires the trans to be removed and than the flywheel. so prob 8-9 hrs labor plus parts. I have done 3 of these on the E90 platform. 1 car had like 5k miles on it.

oil filter housing gasket 2-3 hrs labor plus parts.

depending on what their labor rate is, you can do the math.

Ya it was the oil pan seal and the oil filter seal it was $981 for one and $800, pretty brutal, what causes that and how come warranty doesn't repair it

lurk

depends on what warranty you have. if its aftermarket, you may only have the powertrain covered and those dont cover leaks.

I have extended warranty nothing is aftermarket, how can seals be wear and tear

[froggy47]

In my experience leaks are covered, READ your warranty.

What does extended warranty exactly cover? Don't know where to read my warranty

1st of all, which extended warranty do you actually have? and where in the world are you located? It helps to put the location info in your profile.

Sorry guys haven't updated my pro file in a while, i am in Toronto and I don't know which extended warranty I have, kinda lost here

Woudn't surprise me if you don't even have a warranty.

[max88]

I know I do till next march , I even called today and double checked

Let us know what you/they find. I'm going to have to replace my oil filter housing gasket and my oil pan gasket here in the next few months (one at a time).
