Oil puddle from 2004 BMW 330i
I have a 2004 330i. It had its first oil change at the dealer about
three weeks ago at about 13k miles. I checked the oil level right after
they changed it, and it was at the correct level.
Today, three weeks later, I noticed a large puddle of oil on the floor
of my garage. At least it feels and smells like oil. The low oil
indicator was not on.
I parked the car in the driveway so I could clean up the oil in the
garage. When I moved the car back into the garage, there was another
puddle in the driveway where the car had been parked. When I checked the
oil level after letting the car sit for a half hour, it was still at the
full mark.
Prior to the oil change, I had occasionally noticed a sweet odor like
leaking coolant. I told them about it when the car was in for the oil
change. They said they did a pressure test and did not find any
problems, but that they did find a power steering leak that they fixed.
I thought power steering fluid did not have an oily consistency, but was
more like transmission fluid.
Does anyone have any suggestions before I take the car back to the
dealer? Thanks.
