PM me your e-mail. Your right. . . Bomb is no help. You have to go to BMW for the parts detail on the starter. I have the BMW starter parts page in pdf. I ended up buying a new O-ring and a new front aluminum piece. I am thinking of having my old one double o-ringed to see if the second o-ring will hold back the oil.
I am in the process of building a second engine (this will be a 760. The cases are used and I fear there has been an oil leak there before so, I am going to see what options our builder down here can offer before he assembles the cases (maybe sleeve it?) I plan on using the new aluminum front section of the starter and the new o-ring on the 760.
I feel your pain!

Simple answer for all of you. Gary has them at TVI. Also you use a light coating of Toyota or some Ultra-blue silicone on it and "BAM" your o-ring problems are over![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I know I had the same problem and not anymore.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Or, did you let it dry first? So, you are basically just putting it on the O-ring to make the o-ring larger? Or are you putting it at the base of the starter flange?

I've had no problem getting o rings from my dealer.
But new rings have never solved the problem.
I've tried every kind of sealent/silicone also and have not been able to stop it.
I remember when I was the only one on this board that had this problem. Now it's getting common. What is causing this?
Do any of you guys still have a stock engine? Or are they all modded?
