Re: Transfer case leak?

I have a picture of the underside of the X6 and that looks to be close to the gearbox/transfer box join (assuming front is to the left?). Hard to tell because of all the covers etc BMW have installed under the X6 models. Have you had the car in the air and the underbody shielding off? There are ...
