R53 with 170,000 miles.

I'm burning through oil pretty fast. I've replaced the oil pan gasket and have been told I need to replace the valve cover gasket.

Are there any other obvious oil leak locations? I remember seeing a post about all the common leaks but I can't find it.

Any information on how to fix them and where to get the parts would be greatly appreciated. Also, whether or not I should have a pro do it.

Thanks!
Dave
