There are a few potential causes for your oil leak. First, check for any loose or damaged oil lines. You should also inspect the oil pan and gasket for any leaks. It's also possible that the oil filter or drain plug are not tightened properly. If you can't find the source of the leak, it's best to take your car to a mechanic for a proper diagnosis and repair. Don't wait too long, as driving with low oil levels can damage your engine.

Another common cause of oil leaks in the BMW 3 Series is a faulty valve cover gasket. This gasket seals the valve cover to the engine and prevents oil from leaking out. Over time, the gasket can become worn and start to leak. If this is the case, it's best to have the gasket replaced by a professional mechanic.

Sometimes, regular wear and tear can cause oil leaks in your BMW 3 Series. As your car ages, the seals and gaskets can become worn and allow small amounts of oil to leak out. If you notice a small oil leak, you can try using an oil leak stopper product, but it's still best to have a mechanic check it out to ensure there are no larger issues.
