Oil leak from????

[dajee]

Noticed oil marks in the garage this week but can't make out where it's comin from coz its not from the front but more like drivers door or so??? What could it be??
But I have booked the car in on Thursday but just wanted to know what could be leaking

Maybe the oil is dripping on the exhaust manifold and dripping down so it looks like it's the drivers door.

Is the car still under Mp?

Thanks yup car still got mp hope notin too serious Idrive show oil level OK will have to wait till Thursday :bangdesk:

Is your car an Auto? If yes, it could possibly be the gearbox pan gasket, which is common on the E90s.

I think, vacuum pump, dripping onto exhaust manifold . Happened to me.

Play ignorant. Let the guys at the dealership try to find it for themselves.
