M57N oil leaks
Hello everybody,
Im newbie in BMW world and I have some questions. I have leaking engine video below showing oil leaks:
I changed oil before 1500km and today on the cold engine the oil level is almost MAX. So I think that the oil leak is not major. Maybe someone had the same oil leak in that place and knows what I need to change to stop leaks. Thanks guys

I had a leak but not as severe as yours.
I removed the flaps on the inlet manifold and it seemed to help.
Others have said it might be the oil filter housing gasket.
Best thing is to really clean all of the engine bay and under (remove all the under floor covers if possible) and start with a fully clean engine. Then after a few days driving the source might be apparent.
