Happy Sunday Gang!

I hope the 5ers and Jim in San Diego are having a blast today.

I replaced the oil pressure sending unit yesterday and cleaned the engine bay, top to bottom. Guess what?? More oil leaking, not from the sending unit anymore, but from around the mating point of the passenger side engine mount to the block. Is there an oil gasket between the two pieces? Bentley doesn't seem to comment. I also noticed a little wetness tracing down the side of the block, directly above the mount, around the head/block union. Oh God! That can't be good. Any advice is always appreciated.
