Have a slight oil leak from the Valvetronic seal (Pictures below). Would I be okay with just replacing the $5 seal or would I need to swap out anything else? No CEL or misfires, just unsightly oil residue.

Interestingly, that is an open hole on my car.

Just the seal and self-tapping screws. Just make sure it's the seal and not oil moving into the connector from inside the valvetronic motor and then oozing out.

Appreciate it. I tracked down the parts and I think I need 11377502022 and (2) 11367609963.

My car is a 2013 F30 N55 with PWG for reference. Thought all N55's had the same setup other than the turbo?

gotcha, I was guessing that was EWG vs PWG.

I am EWG and definitely have the same setup as you, I wonder if the other commentators got it confused with the hole I circled below as that was unused on my car.

Bingo.

Is it from valve cover gasket ? Or acutuator seal leaking ?

Did you find out where the oil leak is finally ? Did changing the $5 seal helped you stop the oil residue ? I have similar oil residue and would like to know. Thanks in advance.
