    2003 e39 540i/6 front main seal

    I think my front main seal on transmission is leaking. ...not much but I noticed it seeping down. While replacing the front main seal, what else should i do, or have a indy shop do, while I am in " the neighborhood"? The car has 159K on it, believe it is original clutch, etc. I will look thru the previous owner record.

    Thx for any advice/help.

    Posted wrong spot friend. Hangout sub forum is for social off topic whatever. Repost in the proper main forum.

    But commonly guys will fold that into a timing guide job. You can do the seal alone but it's trickier and slight more risk, and besides mostly cars that need the seal should need guides soon enough.
