    Hi cjv2,

    I've read all your post regarding your coolant leak and oil filter housing replacement. My MCS 2017 F55 has coolant leaking with similar pattern as yours. I've had it looked by Mini/BMW and they never told me what the problem was, just said to replace the oil filter housing. They were going to charge alot of the job, so I thought I'd give it a go myself. I have already ordered a replacement oil filter housing.
    I need your advise and wisdom regarding replacing the oil filter housing,

    1. Other than the intake air duct & muffler, intake manifold system, auxiliary water pump, radiator fan housing, is there any other part that needs to be removed?
    2. Do you happen to know the torque setting for the oil filter housing to the engine block?
    3. Does the oil filter housing need a gasket sealant prior to installing it?

    Kind regards
