I had a oil leak at the weep hole at the water pump a while back.
After BMW replaced the water pump kit the 3rd time it was still leaking.
Upon further investigation they found the oil pressure to be too high. At 4500rpm should be 4.5 bar, the bike is running at 7 bar pressure causing the seal to fail.
Anybody had similar issues or maybe idea what could cause the high pressure. BMW has never had something similar.
Thanks!!
