Funnily enough last week (well misery would be the right word) discovered a leak on my SMG which is severe :-It's the item No. 1 which is the hydraulic pipe unit which incidently is the only pipe that is flexible, the rest is made of brass pipe<img src="http://www.realoem.com/bmw/diagrams/c/c/193.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Called Bavarian Auto and they quoted me RM1300 :43: and it'll take around 2-3 weeks to arrive ... Almost dropped my phone when heard that LOLYou can see the hydraulic fluid dripping at the end of the banjo clamp<img src="http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu235/B33MER330/April-May%202012/IMG-20120504-00266.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Because of the angle of the hydraulic pipe is connected to the shift actuator causes the leak at the neck of the banjo fittings. Anyway a picture says a thousand word :-<img src="http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu235/B33MER330/April-May%202012/IMG-20120507-00291.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Leakage occurs at the neck due to the angle where it is fixed.<img src="http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu235/B33MER330/April-May%202012/PointOfLeakage.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />so there you have it another weak link in our system that can cause leakage. We're trying to work out a solution to it and that means fabricating new parts and a slight lengthening of the hydraulic pipe. Hopefully it'll work lah Bear in mind though I have not seen or heard anyone having this sort of problem except for me (lucky me huh!)</blockquote>
