One other question, I haven't been driving the car as much lately due to a seasonal layoff - is it possible that my leaks are caused by this? I'm running 10w-40 at the moment and found a BMW site where someone suggested 50 weight oil could cure a leak. Any thoughts?
There are a few oil weight threads where people suggest using 15w-50 all year round for these engines. As long as you don't live in a place where it gets really cold, you should be fine with that.
