Hi, for the last time today, I hope!
I have a minor oil leak somewhere under the inlet manifold of my 530d. Has anyone had a problem like this? My car is an '06 with 83000km on the clock. The seals should still be good. As this is the first diesel I've owned I'm not familiar with which seals might leak and where. I'm guessing it might just need an adjustment somewhere. Any thoughts?
Cheers

Which side? If it's the left side of the engine, it's probably the swirl flap seals. Read about the swirl flaps on the DIY section as well, ther's a big thread about them (removing them actually).
