Good to hear that your oil leak problem solved!

Replacement of brake components is easy... Just don't forget the brake sensors..... One for front and one for back.... Also, BMW's rotors are designed to wear quite quickly too.... So you may need to replace them too... I change my rotors every other brake pad replacement...

Brake pads about $120 per set.... Rotors approx $75 (rear) and $95 (front). Sensors are around $16 / pc - you need 1 for front and 1 for rear...

Re: E90 engine oil leak experience

I had my oil leak issues rectify yesterday. It was like consuming 1 litre for every 400km wa lau si bey siong. And water drys up after every 500km.
When the car was jack up you can see the oil dripping below even without opening up the cover.
Initial accessment found the leaking between the brake vaccum pump and the engine.

Had the oil sump seal, brake vaccum pump replaced and the engine top gasket. And a black cover with 2 sealing rings inside ( not sure what was that) that is causing the water leakage.

And since need to remove the gearbox to access to these areas. Might as well get them to rectify my gearbox jerking issues which is not happening always but coming quite frequent now. And since my mileage now 115k liao. I can see a big one is coming.
Not sure was it a good price but after much bargaining had the GB changed to a recon one with warranty. Was thinking might as well change the GB rather than change parts here and there further more got warranty. Thus including the above parts change for the engine. Total damage amounting to 5 grand. Now bleeding in my pocket liao.
