Leakage

[munichman]

I have a 1995 BMW 530i and just recently noticed the car is leaking a very small puddle of oil (dime sized). It just started doing this and I've been told it is possibly the oil filter housing seal that is bad. I changed out my plugs and noticed the VC gaskets leak, too but very small amounts. Anyone have any idea where this could be originating from?

Open the hood, and use a flashlight to find where the oil is coming from. It is hard to see the exact location from here in Alabama, but I only have 16/20 vision.

Yeah, I didn't mean to post it four times. The site is glitchy. The leak seems to be coming from the middle and to the left (passenger side). It is dark out so I can't really see anything.

Wait until you have a chance to get good and dirty in that engine bay. Try and trace it back. Take pictures and maybe we can help.
