Intake manifold

[guss]

Just had my 325 I serviced couple of weeks back just checking oil level and noticed some rasberry coloured oil seeping through a connection on the throttle body near the intake manifold,it's not lots but never noticed it before should I be concerned !

Rasberry coloured oil ?

Do you have red coolant ? Sounds like the throttle body heater leaking - you can bypass it with a single length of pipe from the connection at the back of the block under the inlet manifold at the bulkhead end of the engine to the connection on the thermostat.

Do you mean the part where the cam cover breather goes to on the throttle body? it has 3 small torque screws on a small housing?

[guss]

Erm it's directly under the throttle square n shape has 3 hoses connected To it, 2 are narrow
