Hi all

I've had my 545 (04) for over 5 years now, seems like every year I have a problem with the sump pump with leaking oil under the car.

It's been changed 3 times over the 5 years (twice in the last year), and looks like i'll have to take it back to the stealer again as its leaking oil under the car.

Is this a common fault or do i have another underlying issue (as the dealer thinks this may not be a sump pump issue - although everytime they change it, it stops the leak)

Any ideas?

Cheers

If the dealer replaced the pump and it's leaking, warranty [on the pump replacement] should cover the cost of taking care of the leak.
