Wow! Thanks for that tip! Found the post on another forum. I'll definitely be trying this method!
The biggest issue I have with everything here is that my X5 is my main vehicle. I'm anticipating a good weekend's worth of work to replace entire CCV system, OFH gasket and VCG (of course, accounting for more than a few "cooling off" breaks--for me, not the car!). I'm also anticipating something breaking and needing at least one unexpected part. Since it's the middle of winter with plenty of snow and ice on the ground, I can't exactly hop on the Sportster and run to the dealership or parts store for that unexpected part. And I need to be able to get to work on Monday morning. If I just keep an eye on my oil level, I'm wondering how long I can put these repairs off...
