Spent some time inspecting an oil leak on my 2019 X540i (Gen 2 B58) and this oil leak is slowly getting worse. It's not the valve cover.

It looks like it's due to crankcase ventilation. There is oil in the intake tube forward of the turbo, and a lot of oil seeping out before the turbo and downward. There is no PCV valve as I understand it.

I saw a post about a dealership replacing the ring forward of the turbo but that did not stop the leak.

Changing the gaskets/o-rings on the turbo inlet and turbo to charge pipe will probably fix it.
Thanks for the link. I was about to replace the valve cover thinking it was a PCV system issue. It would be awesome if these prongs fix the leaks.
