While I got that checked I also got a small oil leak looks like the oil pan maybe or something. It wasn't a big oil leak looks small because Ive never noticed it. Any ideas on that?

If it is very slight don't worry about it. All German cars sweat. It isn't worth chasing every drip, especially if you can't turn a wrench yourself.

If you want to pursue it further clean up the area with degreaser and then identify exactly where it is coming from. If you want advise post good pictures.

Anything short of good pictures would be asking us to throw out wild guesses, a serious waste of your time and ours.

I took some pictures but you can't really see it. It's around the alternator. I'll try to take a better one tomorrow during the day and see if it'll come out better.

Clean up the area first. The alternator bracket profile gasket is a common failure point on V8s, and to my earlier point, far away from the oil pan.
