Hey everyone,

Probably going to be changing the rocker cover gasket on my M54 in the next couple of weeks. Been a small oil leak for the past while that I'm fairly sure is coming from the rocker cover. Every so often when sitting a lights I get a fairly big smell of burning oil coming into the car so I think it's leaking down on to the exhaust manifold somewhere.

Was looking into it and a few people have pointed out that when I have the rocker cover off, I may as well do the seals on the VANOS too?? Anyone have an opinion on that? Engine has 131,000 miles on it and I don't think there is any problems with the VANOS. Certainly no nasty sounds and car seems to be running great otherwise.

Cheers,

Keith
