Oil Cooling Gasket has been purchased..should be tackling the replacement this weekend. Will try and take pics along the way to keep you guys posted. Seems like a very common issue all over the bimmer forums so I`ll do my best to inform the crowd.

**Update**
Oil Filter Cooling gasket has been replaced... however, taking my car in today to swap some wheels and found this horrendous, life threatening issue on my 295/25/20 Nitto Invo's. imgur: the simple image sharer
So, with that being said I won't be pushing past 80km/hr for the next 4-5 days, but, I will keep you posted if the oil pools up. Afterwards, will be posting the pictures I took along the way with an update.

Hi guys,
Over the weekend I replaced my Oil Filter Housing Gasket (DIY) on my 08 528i as per BMW quoting me $950 for them to do it. I bought the gasket online installed it Friday. However, the leak still exists and I was certain it was the Oil Filter Housing Gasket.
Below is a picture of where the oil is pooling up. If it's not the housing gasket, what could be the cause? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Attached picture below

**Update**
Oil Filter Cooler Housing Gasket replaced and absolutely zero sign of any oil leakage. For those replacing the Oil Filter Housing Gasket make sure to buy the Oil Filter Cooler Gasket as well (both are like $15). The Cooler gasket is easy as shit to replace and was most likely the cause of my issue. If you're unsure, start with the cooler gasket first! For those interested in pics just say the word and I'll post what I have.
**Update 2**
It's been a week. Still no signs of any leakage
. Definitely was the oil filter cooler gasket causing the problem and not the oil filter housing gasket, but, if you're in there just do both.
