Help oil leak won't BMW 318i saloon 2002 e46 n42?

The car was leaking oil put 6 litres in that morning as had to use the car.
Smoke was burning off the engine and burning off exhaust. The car sounded allot noisier than it usually was, stalled and won't start. The crank shaft moves but won't start up. Turns out the oil was leaking from a screw on the side of the engine. Told it was on over flow. Topped oil up and doesn't seem to have leaked since.
Was told head gasket but no gunk in oil, no over heating, coolant was fine.
Worried engines is seized but the crank moves,
Thinking maybe a vacuum pipe caused by the oil leak. Not sure where to start first. Thanks.
