Oil Leak

Post by andyf1140 » Sun Apr 22, 2018 4:09 pm

Having replaced the cam cover gasket it's fixed the leak at the front of the engine but I still have a leak at the back of the cylinder head. It seems to be coming from the circular plate at the back of the head. Is this easy to fix???

The engine is the 2.0L version.

With a bit more research I have found that its the vacuum pump that's leaking. I found this guide on the E90 forum https://www.bmwfanatics.co.za/showthread.php?tid=33222. Has anyone here tried to make a similar repair?
