If your car is not a turbo, then you may need your flame trap cleaned/replaced. This only costs about $3.00 for parts and 10 minutes for labor. I had a similar leak on my 1990 740 GLE 16v and once I replaced the flame trap the leak stopped immediately. One mechanic said it was a cam/crank seal leak $500 plus, another said it was a main seal leak $1,000 plus, but it was just a clogged flame trap $3.00...easy fix. This is only a suggestion of a possibile cause.
