Vail Colorado
So basically, I thought it was the valve cover gasket at first because I had the usual leak in the rail in the back of the engine on the left side. But today I was pushing the car pretty hard and when I went to park the car, I noticed a leaking in the front of the engine and I took this videos and I am wondering if it’s the oil housing gasket but on the videos I can’t see if it’s really leaking from there, I also see that it could be the engine oil line. Can someone please give me some thoughts and help on what to do?
Can someone please help me with this oil leak problem? I’m having on my E 85 2004 Z4.

A little while ago I had a suspected slow oil leak. My local mechanic did a steam clean of the entire engine bay and then I took the car back and drove it for a while. The mechanic then inspected the engine bay and was able to pinpoint where the leak was coming from. Don't know if that would help in your case?

Carefully jack her up and remove all the undertrays. Clean up everything with a degreaser. Run her a few miles then look to see where the leaks are coming from.
OK, thank you so much. Everybody one more thing I have to add is that I was pushing the car pretty good then when I parked for the first time, I see a little puddles oil underneath the car maybe the pressure in the engine made it leak more for what I’ve been seeing on online it could be that oil filter, housing, or the valve cover gasket
