Interested to see an update here!

Similar oil leak, changed the oil filter housing gasket, not leaking when the car starts, I observe the leak after car has been driving. I m going to check that vanos line

I have since done the OFHG and the leak persists
I have since bought, not installed

Dr. Vanos oil line
Crush washer for TCT
Vanos Sealing Plate

Hesitant to install above if the leak is actually something else or the vanos gasket,

Others have noted it in this thread. When I encountered a major leak in that area of my engine, it turned out to be the VANOS pressure accumulator line.

My 2 cents : Vanos Gasket, (lower left). "freeze" plug behind the vanos solenoids. Good luck!
