Leaks: front diff, cam seals, and vacuum pump
I had a pre-purchase inspection done on an e63 2016 AWD (26k miles) and the only real issues were 3 minor leaks: front differential (maybe a seal or gasket?), Cam seals on the back of the heads, and vacuum pump.
My concern is with the vacuum pump and front diff as it is low miles and fairly new (2016). I understand cam seals are a common problem? That's what the tech doing the inspection stated, anyway.
Would you buy and repair if the asking price was discounted or would you continue your search?
Thanks!!
