2012 with an N55, the gasket is leaking again (dealer I got the car from replaced it twice already). It's seeping oil out of the top of the housing, right along the oil filter cover. I've checked and it's not from the oil filter cap o-ring.

Wondering if I can skip the whole intake manifold removal job and just take the cooler side of the OFH off, and replace the affected gasket, top coolant off, and change the oil.

Also waiting to hear back from the dealer again to see if they'd be willing to at least do it for just the cost of parts (as they've screwed up the labor twice already). This would be the 3rd replacement within about 5k miles.

Thanks for any input!
