During extreme cold weather (ie. Less than 10 degrees) my bmw x5 overheated and leaked oil. Brought to my repair shop where they had a similar problem w/ same model brought in the day before. Brought the car to bmw dealership where it was diagnosed as having a broken oil separator valve cover ( a defective valve cover which bmw has already acknowledged as a problem because they now have a new part to replace it). Bmw has not issued a recall and denied my request to repair it without charge as the car is no longer under warranty. *Nm
