330i sump gasket oil leak

washout16 · 01-09-2018, 09:26 PM

Hi all

Took my 2016 330i touring to get an oil change and the mechanic noticed a very small oil leak in the sump gasket (photos below).

Wondering if anyone else has had this problem or may be aware of the cause?

The car only has 15,000kms on it, was run in properly and I was getting an oil change as BMW won't change the oil until 30,000km (under the service incl package) which seems insane to me.

Any advice appreciated.
