Small patch of oil leak?

Hi,

I have a 2024 G20 M340i, I got it couple of weeks back, I have been noticing a small patch of what it seems to be a oil leek. Yesterday night I cleared everything with my shoe and parked the car overnight at the same spot, today morning to my surprise the patch is back again, is this a potential oil leak, do I have to take the car to the dealer?

Since the car is still under warranty, just bring the car to the dealer service.

You may also try to park at another spot to experiment further.

Take to dealer - use the warranty. Our X5 had a similar seepage and it ended up being a pinched/cut front diff o-ring/seal from the factory.

If it makes you feel better, there is still the old diff leak stain on our garage floor and my heart skips a beat when I see it until I remember it was from before.
