In today's video the customer's complaint is that there is a burning smell coming from inside the cabin of the interior of the vehicle. They also noted white smoke coming from the passenger's side area from under the hood. Upon closer inspection, it turns out that the valve cover gasket is leaking engine oil on to the exhaust manifold area causing the problem. This is a very common problem on a lot of BMW vehicles such as but not limited to the N52 and N55 engines. Due to the way how the engine is designed and is slanted downwards towards the passenger's side on an angle, gravity will push all of the hot oil on to that one side wearing out the valve cover and gasket a lot faster than on other vehicles. The use of plastics on today's modern day vehicles is also a contributing factor which is a failure point for these vehicles as well. Today, I will guide you into the step-by-step tutorial and process on how to remove and replace this. I will also show some key pointers and some tips and tricks in order to save you from headaches and problems down the road when I perform this repair.
