I recently replace the oil refill cap think the gasket on it was the issue but there still oil coming out of it
Is this normal? |

That looks like a non-OEM cap. I would use OEM BMW. This is the one I replaced it with when my old N54 cap was leaking.

Maybe a boost leak into the valve cover via the PCV system is pushing the oil vapor out? Any other oil leaks?

I wouldn't replace the valve cover unless you know there's a crack in it. If you don't have a leak, there's no sense in spending $400.00. |
