Oil stains under the engine

bmw2791 · 07-18-2019, 11:28 PM

Hi,

It has been a week I got my car and I am seeing there are oil stains on the floor below my engine. This was brought to my notice by my building management when I received a memo. Anyone here who has experienced oil leak with their new X5s?

We have puddle of yellow fluid that I assume to be coolant forming under our X5.
There is a skid plate under the car so I can't tell exactly where it is coming from.
The puddle is approx 2' in diameter so enough to have me worried.
We have an appointment scheduled.
Based on some of the horror stories on this forum we are hoping for the best!
We have warranty for 7 years but it's a pain in the butt having to take the car in for servicing. This is our 3rd service trip since owning for 3 months and 2,500 miles.

Yes I'm time limited and on mobile right now or I'd help, but search in this same sub forum and there's a post with a. Guy very similar getting a notice from his building management or something. Definitely find the thread there was something wrong (obviously!)

Good luck

Here was my story with antifreeze "coolant" fluid issue.
