Engine Mechanical problem
2001 BMW X5 6 cyl All Wheel Drive Automatic 112190 miles

I live in Florida and bought this car used at 68,000 miles.I've replaced the cylinder gasket, but oil leak continues. It's not coming from the cylinder gasket that I replace it's seems to be coming from the driver side of the engine. Any idea. Thanks
