Odd oil leak
Washed my 2017 m2 today. Opened the hood to dry the edges and generally check things out - always do this. Found this on the hood. Oil spray/drops. Pretty much directly in line with the oil filter.
So I pull the plastic engine cover off expecting to see oil everywhere. But only find a few drips here and there. The oil filter housing is clean/dry. And for the most part so are the filter cap area and the plastic engine cover. Pulled the filter cap off expecting to see a misaligned or damaged o-ring. But it looks fine and was installed properly. The leak doesn't appear active and must have happened sometime since the last wash - but no clue exactly when. Any ideas? Is there some possible source - a line or pressure gauge or something - other than the cap and housing in this area?
