06 E90 320I : Smoke Emitting from Engine Bay

[DanzE90]

morning guys,
this morning experience light smoke emitting from the engine bay, this happened when I came back from Taiping last Sunday,
anyone experience this before? could it be the engine oil seals? what is the expected amount to get it repaired?
thanks.

Nothing to worry about.....suspect minor lubricant oil is leaking from top cylinder cover. Just replace the rubber gasket of the top cylinder as the same happened to my e60.

yeah Herbert you are right, but at 1st I was confused because smoke came out from the left side (passenger) of the engine,
if right side then yes suspect there is leaking, but problem solved, because mechanic told me that somehow the engine oil
seeped into the pump below (not sure what pump is that, could it be brake pump)?

changed the head gasket & pump gasket, total RM477
if problem still persists then have to proceed to change the pump that costs approx. rm1k.
