    E53 M54 Need help with oil leak

    Cleaned everything up, took the vehicle for a drive and found where exactly the engine oil is leaking. But I can't identify the source.
    I looked as much as I could, and to me it looks like it's coming from the upper bolt, where the differential bolts into the oil pan. But that's impossible, right?

    Hard to tell by photos, but is there anything above that bolt? Say a leak from the oil pan gasket, front main seal, or oil filter housing gasket?
