N12 valve cover or what!

Hello to all
Got a problem here. Here, in quebec, it's VERY cold outside theses days, and i've got 2 mini with the N12 engine that will start and fall in limp mode with codes of slugish movement in valvetronic system. It will do that only when it's very cold. So first time, i lift the valve cover, clean every thing b'cause i can find a lot of water in the valve cover, did change the motor, (actuator) done a relearn for the adaptation of valvetronic change oil and filter and voila. A couple of month later, same prob. Water inside valve cover. Is there a unpgrade on the valve cover... i think so but want to be shure, also what about the intake boot, the dealer here told me to change that parts... why.. if some one can help me or have something to share, it will be nice, thanks in advance to take time!

Also i forgot to say that in put a catch can in the vapor line and was able to collect half a liter in 2 month of operation...

Thanks
