Oil Leak
I have a 2001 E39 with a small oil leak somewhere on the left side of the engine behind the oil filter housing there is a small oil puddle on the lower part of the block. I spent some time with a mirror up in and behind but short of removing the intake i can't see anything leaking. Any ideas?

Most likely its the Oil filter housing Seal. Cheap part but not so easy replacement (at least not clean) Me & a freind tackled mine & it took us about 4 hours with a cool engine. I followed article from BMW tips.
