My N62 has 134K miles and it was leaking like a sieve. After replacing it....no more leaks. I did all the work myself.
Did you by happen to do a write up for the alternator bracket gasket? I am going to tackle it next summer ( mine has been slowly leaking since I purchased the vehicle 5 years ago )
