disspearing oil leak

hi i have a weird one my wife called me about 2 weeks ago the X5 started smoking and smelling of oil. picked her up and had the car towed to my mechanic. there was a puddle about 8" under the car when i picked her up, and a bunch of oil all over the pass side of the engine compartment and headers. my mechanic called a few days later and can find a leak. its seeping at the valve cover. but it runs and drive ok. no puddles under the car, no oil all over the engine compartment.


what do you guys think? clogged CCV?


FYI it was about 10 degrees out when this happened and its a 2001 3.0l gas engine
