Need some help, just experience an oil leak on my 89 325is and can't find the source. Oil is coming from the right side beneath the manifold from between the engine and gear box plate when started and then runs down to the bottom.
Thought it could be a rear seal but unsure, some guys suggest it could be the cam shaft half moon plugs which I checked today and they look ok (unsure what happens under pressure). Also gasket around the valve cover is ok. I ordered all 4 plugs and gasket to replace just in case.
Ran my hand behind there and it had oil residue but doesn't look to be the source (car wasn't running).
Has anyone experience this before? Need some help ASAP, dip stick is reading below the lowest level. Attached are some picks.
Thanks ahead of time.
