    So while changing my oil I noticed oil seeping/weeping (or whatever you want to call it) around the oil pan and even the engine around that area.
    Relax and pretend it’s not happening? Or is this something you would fix right away? No drippy leaks at all at the moment.
    99k miles. 2016 limited.
    Ps.. had the front engine cover resealed about 30k miles ago due to a good leak.
    Ah, the joys of a 2016…

    Clean and check in a week.

    I did this on my rear differential and it is still clean after 20k miles…

    You're presumably out of warranty, and at present it's a non issue.
    X3 for cleaning it up and keeping an occasional eye on it.
