    E39 525i M54 Oil Leak

    So I changed my rocker cover gasket and cleaned up the bottom of the car today to see if I have any leaks, I have all the parts for the CCV ready to go and the oil filter housing gasket. Here's a picture to show where the oil is coming down:



    Now I'm hoping this is just the leftover oil that I couldn't remove with the powerhose as there's still a decent bit above that point and at the same time it doesn't seem to fall under where the rocker cover would be. Any ideas?

    What about the oil filter pedestal that also holds the alternator?

    Is the oil filter housing and pedestal one and the same? Have the OFHG ready to go, just need time to fit.
