My 1995 K1100LT has an oil leak which seems to come from the timing chain cover. In searching for info about this I came across a BMW service bulletin (that I can no longer locate!) that was very confusing. If I understand it at all, it seems to indicate the source of the problem is oil passages in the block and cover that are misaligned. If that is true, it may be that no amount of new sealer on the mating surfaces will keep things oil-tight. What are options others may have tried in an effort to cure this leak?
To clarify, I am not speaking of the leak that can drain out the weep hole for the oil/coolant pump. No need to tell me I need to rebuild that pump. Been there, done that, so I should be good for another 40 K miles.
TIA
