    You meant the valve cover gasket?

    Default CamShaft Gasket

    My 540I has been dripping oil ever since I changed the oil, the oil is leaking on the passenger side.

    Its not much of a leak but its been bothering me.

    We have norrow it down to a cam Gasket. Does that sound right>?
    Whats the best place to get that?
    Is it different than a cam seal?

    I am reasonably sure the camshaft has no gasket whatsoever not only on the BMW, on any car for that matter. You may want to go back to your indie to verify what he meant.
