E55 massive driver side oil leak?
Not sure what the cause is looking for any suggestions. Valve cover gaskets have already been done and just replaced the oil filler cap with a brand new one. Oil all over drivers side of the engine bay including on the inner hood lining.

Oof! I'd point towards the oil filter housing and/or the high pressure lines connected to it. Wash it down well and then start it BRIEFLY and check those areas with a mirror.

Verify o-ring on oil filter cap, then o-rings between filter housing and pre-cooler attached to it. That leak looks pressurized.
