Replacing my o-ring solved the issue as it's a common o-ring to wear out. All 3 of my past BMW's leaked at this o-ring. It's a pretty easy job and can all be done from the top of the engine. I think it took about an hour or less.
Thanks for the heads up. I have the 3.0L N55 tho. Do they have the same common O Ring issue?
