The bike has 76k miles. Started to leak to it to a local shop (not BMW) they said the the valve cover is bad. Has anyone heard of this before? They did replace the Outer gasket but dont know if they should of repalced both outer and inner. I read the bolts need to be replaced also. Any help would be great.

I had a leak on my 2009 in the same location. The guide rail on mine was pushing up on the valve cover. The dealer tech trimmed the top of the guide but that did not work. BMWNA recommended that they just replace it with a new rail under the extended warranty. You would think it would push down on the rail with the rotation of the chain. It hasn't leaked since.
