Answer

I will attach the information:

 

Removing And Installing/sealing Left Cylinder Head Cover (N62)
(Cylinder Bank 5 to 8)

Remove design cover.

Remove acoustic cover.

Remove center of assembly partition wall.

Remove ignition coil cover.

Note: For purposes of clarity, the following work steps are shown on the engine after it has been removed.

Installation:
The cylinder head cover and its gasket are made from a single material which adapts to the contour of the cylinder head.
The gasket and uncoupling elements of the screw connection are matched to each other.

If the cylinder head cover was leaking, the fault can only be rectified with a new cylinder head cover, new gasket and new screw connections.
