Oil Leak with pics.
When I was going over everything today I looked around in my engine bay and saw that my engine looked a little oily. I have to add oil every now and then, and I was reading that its normal for a 330 to burn a little. But this looks like its leaking pretty bad.
 Vanos oil line do you guys think? |

I wasn't too sure on the valve cover if it was or not. Might not hurt to do it anyway

Looks like a slow leak.
If you have to add oil its most likely not leaking from there Check Oil filter housing gasket area and your crankcase ventilation valve area. |
