Hi All. Big Shocker question here: Massive Oil Leaks on a BMW X5 E53 N62 4.4i. In the last week I've noticed even more driveway oil decoration from this rolling sieve. Now it seems to be from everywhere below the valve covers. Mainly more so probably coming from the upper rear of the engine where I Can't get at it to see from the firewall blocking it. It looks like it flowing equally on both left and right sides downward and following along the bellhousing. I Don't think it is a rear Main Seal because there is no oil pooled inside when pulling out those rubber inspection plugs at the flywheel. I had a known 'small' right side valve cover oil leak that seemed to get better with some AT-204. But now, it's near streaming down each side. Ideas???? Simplest and cheapest ones first, please. This Money Pit is also drain my pockets and patience. Thanks in advance.

These pics are AFTER I cleaned the massive oil mess to better see it's flow path.
