main dealer. It's not dear. You'll need the big main o ring that seals the housing to the block, the pressure relief valve kit. the seal half way along the main mounting banjo bolt and a new washer for the main bolt. That lot will set you back not much money and sort you for a good few years.

Get the seal kit from BMW - it won't sort you for a good while - it'll sort you for ever.sheep wrote:will silcone work as might have the same prob .. looked at the block today and its coverd in oil...... not happy
The original parts have a design fault, which is addressed by the replacement parts.
