Leaking Rocker Cover Gaskets
Problem
This is a common issue on the BMW M62 engine. Although in itself not a critical issue, the slow seepage of oil can fill the spark plug wells, the coil-pack then gets saturated with oil and can fail.
Symptoms
The initial symptoms are a judder when pulling away or a quick flashing Check Engine Light, this happens when the oil is interfering with the spark getting from the coil pack to the spark plug.
Cure
Replacing the rocker cover gaskets is a strait forward job and definitely a driveway repair, although can get a bit messy as you are dealing with the oil system. It is often "good value" to let a garage do this job for you as it should take them approximately 2 hours (max).
Parts
The part numbers for replacement are: LH # LR003813 RH # LR003812
Cost is approximately £20.00 per side.
