Well, I guess I'll give an update.
My father has been complaining of oil consumption still and I finally got back and looked at it. Cheese whiz in the oil cap! Well, I guess that means a clogged oil separator. Going to do a oil change for it to get rid of the moisture-ridden oil and give it a long drive at some higher RPM's to really heat that engine up. Yay for maintenance when I get back from break. I have to figure out how to give the X6 an oil change too. I'm suspecting that it will have oil separator issues eventually given how it s driven for 2 miles a day sometimes. That engine is never warm when it gets to its destination.

I would say it's the oil filter housing gasket. It's a DIY job...maybe a couple of hours.

This X5 never gets heated up correctly. It maybe sees 25 miles a day and the oil is just at operating temperature by the end of the drive. I just did an oil change to get rid of the old oil though. Will see how the new oil does.
We smell no oil so I don't think it is the oil filter housing gasket. Not 100% sure though as I can't easily see down there. It goes to the mechanic for a CCV soon. We'll see what they say about it and if anything else needs to be replaced.
