There is no oil filter housing gasket, per se, on an E39 M5. It has a remote oil filter housing. In my 14+ years of ownership, it and the lines running to it were leak-free.
The cooling system on the S62 is very robust. The Tstat runs at 79C, so the whole system runs much cooler than the M62 (in addition to not being similar to the M62 cooling system). Again, in my 14+ years with the M5, I had zero issues with any of the cooling system other than replacing the Tstat (which is actually a common replacement on the S62).
My E9x N52s now on the other hand...
