E55 AMG Oil Issue
Ok, from the start. Leave work and suddenly see smoke, pull over, engine conver and drivers side of bay covered in oil. Tow home, proceed to clean and do valve cover gaskets. All set, or so I thougt. Drive easy all day yesterday no issue. Do a 1-2 pull last night. Boom, same issue. Oil all over. Thoughts?

Oil purge covers on top of the valve covers. Both sides. Take a look there.
They are attached via silicon and the silicon drys out. When doing valve covers, I always remove, clean, re silicon and re-install the purge covers.
This is where most the leaking will begin, usually well before the valve covers.
