On BMW with the n62 4. 4l v8 engine there's an oil leak on the alternator bracket that leaks for a while until it is inspected and found it leaks oil on the steering components I think causing the steering components to deteriorate after a while causing a safety issue. The oil leak eventually happens to all n62 4. 4l v8 engines.
