During this visit, we also replaced both the front and rear brake pads and the oil separator located on the cylinder head. This is a common area for oil leaks on the M272 and M273 engines. This oil separator allows the crankcase to safely vent air and stop oil from escaping during the process. If your car is experiencing a loss of pressure or a decrease in performance with a rough idle, this valve/oil separator might to be blame.
