    The correct repair is to remove the housing, replace the gaskets, and reinstall the housing. Then clean up any leaked oil. There is absolutely no need to replace the complete housing.

    What is it with BMW and oil filter housing gaskets? Seems that regardless of the motor, the gaskets on these housing tend to leak after a while...

    And the valve cover gaskets, and the oil pan gaskets. It's just a feature of BMW's.

    Replaced my filter housing gaskets a couple weeks ago. Seems to have fixed the leak. I had two BMW shops note the leak when I had the car in for other service, neither one quoted changing the actual housing.

    As an aside, the housings leaked on both our X6 and our ML350 BT within 6 months of each other

    Old thread but is it an easy FYI?
    Also what is the oem part number for a ‘13 3.0 e70?
    Seems there’s 2?
    Thanks in advance!

    Can someone confirm on an oil filter housing gasket leak, do I need both gaskets or just one of number 4 or 5?

    TIA!
