Oil Return Leak?!

Hi All, Got it back from the dealer for the air suspension compressor, covered under warranty, yaay! Makes a big difference, drives much smoother, less rough, as when the compressor was dying I guess it didn't pump up the back enough. Anyways, noticed a leak now, coming from somewhere on passenger side, and dealer noted on invoice 'oil Return leak'. So, looking at this video here:



Its a gasket like right on top of the engine, that was leaking, and it is where the oil returns to Oil pan or?? Not sure, The vid is for a 50i, but looks somewhat similar to my X5M. So, if it's just gaskets that are leaking, that's good news for me. Any thoughts on what it may be for sure? When I drive it hard, it really has a bad smell of burning oil, and smoke coming from passenger side of motor, and lots of oil coming out down across the header, and near the oil filter, as it comes out the bottom of the truck. The harder I drive it the worse it is. I can take pics if anyone wants more details.

Thanks!
