Rear differential seal leaking
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com I'm DIYer and a lot of maintenance and repair do myself. I really ask adwise what to do 1 Some people said just put a little beat of AT-205 reseal and forget. 2 I would really prefer to replace the seal . But I read on Internet you need a special tools and sometimes it disconnect from differential. If anybody a procedure or preform that work? Thank you for your help |

ah, the rear pinion seal. Soo common on these it seems. Sorry, I never did it myself or know the procedure.
I had mine done under warranty. The shop I go to said mine wasn't serious and would be fine for a little while but eventually it'll need to be replaced. It's like a $15 part and $6-900 in labor or something like that, lol. You can get the tool, I saw it on Amazon for ~$160 (not sure if it's rentable anyplace) and I think it's a 1.5-2.5 hour job (for pros). |

This is the one that I found. I've never used it so I can't be 100% (I *think* this is the tool) https://www.amazon.com/Front-Cranksh.../dp/B072XJMRRP |

Ok, so your engine rear main seal is leaking, NOT your rear axle pinion seal in the differential?
I think there was some confusion in here. Dropping the trans won’t be much fun… |
