RE: M54 Rocker Cover Gasket
These seals fail around 60k they dont make noise when gone you simply lose torque between 1k-3k rpm
Common leak spots on the m54 are rocker cover and oil filter housing

Cheers Gar! Would you reckon the vanos would be an easy enough job to do or better off left to someone with a decent bit of experience? Oil filter housing was leaking when I got the car so that was the first job that was done on it. Checked the cars service history and the rocker cover gasket was done at around 100,000 miles but it looks like it was done using heaps gasket sealant
Re: M54 Rocker Cover Gasket
Defintely can be done at home but pencil in a full day for it , its a bit of a pig on the e39 as the fan and fan shroud are in the way much easier on the e46
Heres a guide to show whats involved its not majorly difficult just time consuming

That's great, cheers for the help! Much appreciated. I'll definitely be sure to set a full day aside for it.
