2004 Z4, 3.0 - Bought it about 6 weeks ago, with 118k miles and love it. Oil leak at rear passenger corner of valve cover - oily and smokey - caused me to replace the gasket. There were no obvious signs of leaking at the machined head when cover removed. However, there was a fair amount of oil on top of the cover after decorative shroud was removed and spark plug #2 was full of oil. Caused by leaking at interior gasket or what? Suggestions?
 
The interior profile gaskets would be logical. Did you replace them as well when changing the gasket?
