Well tonight was interesting. I left work to find I had a rear flat tire on my e30. I called my buddy/roommate to grab my stock wheels/tires and some tools to swap rear tires. Everything went smoothly and we got the e30 back home. The unfortunate thing was that it delayed further work on the e30 M3. Regardless, some work was done tonight.
First and foremost I found the oil leak source. It was the oil drain bolt/washer causing the slow oil leak. Relatively simple fix since I was going to do an oil change anyways. Everything went relatively smoothly other than the gorilla who previously installed the oil filter. Along side the oil change I also took a sample of oil for Blackstone to run analysis on. Hopefully all turns out well. The oil was replaced with Mobil 1 15W50.
The second bit of work was removing the rear differential cover. I setup a lax appointment at a shop to have the current bushing pressed out and the new one pressed in. All went well and the diff looks pleasingly clean.
