Hi everyone,

My 2010 GSA last week suddenly developed a serious oil leak. Leaking engine oil on the lefthand side cylinder onto exhaust. In about 30km lost more than half the oil.
Was worried but luckily BMW Bavaria was very helpfull. Was told not serious problem and is probably the o-ring seal on the brass tentioner plug on cylinder - apparently common issue on
2010 models. They will sort it in one day.

Has anyone else had the same issue? Just glad it is not a serious issue.
