04 x5 3.0i oil leak help

Hello everyone. I have a 04 x5 3.0i with 223k miles. It has an oil leak somewhere that I can’t see. It seems to leak after the engine has been turned on, runs for a little and then turned off. The oil leak puddle ends up being about 6 inches long afterwards. The previous owner (a friend) said his mechanic replaced the following:

*CCV
*Oil separator hose
*A breather hose that hose runs from the valve cover to a connector on the upper PCV hose.
*Did not replace the ofhg as it didn’t need it.
*Breather hose that runs from the valve cover to the lower part of the oil separator.
*Oil Filler Cap Gasket
*Crankcase breather hose
*valve cover gasket
*CVV

What do you guys think that could be leaking? I will note the power steering reservoir was low and I think saw a thread about that being apart of the issue. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks in advance.
