Thanks for the info. I have had the car for over a year now and this just started to happen. Anyone know the reason why it would leak out now? The temperature has been in the 90s to 100 last week, so maybe the heat?

I was away for 4 months and just got back today and saw that too. But I also see a lot of oil near the intake area but no oil inside the filter. I'm still planning to take it in for service to check out. Never hurt to get more opinions and a check up.

My old 135i did this a lot under the hood and corner of the doors.

Haven't noticed it on my 235i yet but im sure it will come
