Oil Pipe
I have a 1996 BMW 328 Sedan that needs to have the oil pipe replaced.
The line is beginning to leak through the braids. This appears to be a relatively straight-forward repair, course that doesn't mean that the local bimmer guy wouldn't like to relieve me of about $500. It looks like two bolts, four seals, and the pipe. Any little tricks I am missing? Left hand threads on the bolts? Is the oil pipe under pressure? Does it need to be refilled when installed? Plus... can anyone recommend a good BMW repair guide. I saw the Bentley Guide on CD for about $75. Thanks. John |

Thats what BMW calls it on the order form. It is a braided hosed that
connects to the engine in two spots.
