leaking pipes

[rs32]

Off to the dealer in the morning as discovered that at least one of my air con pipes is leaking fluid (oil?).

anyone else suffered from this ? I'm hoping extended warranty covers the problem - the air con system is not listed as an exclusion on the BMW/Mondial policy terms.

the problem is by the lower air intake - one of the metal joins/seals seems to be weeping oil, which is then dripping down onto the larger pipe below. seems to be a build-up over time rather than spilling out rapidly.

can this cause any other issues ? - would be useful to know what the dealer should be doing as you never know what they're going to react like.

Have also notice that the power steering pipes/connectors at the front of the engine (front lower, behind the front lower spoiler) are severely corroded. Common issue ? Again, covered by warranty ?

thanks
