              If the oil is coming down a solenoid wire, I would expect it to be a problem with (a) solenoid o-ring(s)m which are behind a different cover altogether. So not sure why replace this cover would fix it. Unless of course if came out here and then found its way to the solenoid wire. The cover itself, unless warped (which would mean a front end shunt) to damege that cover i.e. if any thing leaks, it's because of the o-ring, not th cover.

              p.s. what kind of plaque is that?

                cover was the issue and leak cured when replaced i suspect I damaged the cover at some stage and it got warped by overtightening luckily the vanos housing is still ok.

                The plaque belongs to the BMW car club UK and is presented to runner up in the concours elite category and is mine to keep for 12 months.

                              These are spares, will put them up for sale as just sitting in the garage doing nothing.
