A closer look at this job

This older BMW E46 video tackles a valve-cover-gasket oil leak. It's a classic external-engine sealing job that looks different from the N54 and M54 applications elsewhere on the site. Watch it for the actual E46 repair area, then confirm the correct gasket set and instructions for the engine in your car.
