oil keeps appearing on the inlet manifold, each time i wipe it off it comes back which leads to think oil escaping from some where, judging by the shape of the smear its coming out under pressure,
gonna phone my dealer tomorrow to have it looked at

on the top, the wide sloping part (right side)
Good thing you have the BMW warranty, my aftermarket warrant doesnt cover oil leaks unless the engine needs removed to repair.
Let us know what the outcome is.
