This is a "incompetent repair" thing. Not gonna be an easy fix, I would imagine they will have to redo the whole valve cover job. I wonder if its leaking from the oil separators or something which were also replaced. A valve cover leak usually doesn't leak onto the floor like that. Or maybe they didn't torque the drain plug down properly?

What do you think it could be? I can’t imagine the valve covers leaking enough to show up on the floor like that.

Then check below, if you have a bore scope type inspection camera it should allow you to look around without removing the under tray etc

Yep, under shield is attached. I can’t see anything from the top I looked…no boroscope or anything like that. The oil is dripping out of both ends of the under cladding that runs underneath the rear of the engine and transmission. Those are the front wheels in the left of the pic, this is looking under from the drivers side
I texted the dealer and my service guy responded on Sunday which was nice. Told me to bring it by tomorrow so I will.

Maybe it is the BMW lol
I will say I complain about how slow the dealer is, but they have taken care of me.
Driving it back from NJ, I still really love the car and honestly I have no interest in paying more money for another one vs this one…just can’t get excited about it…
I’m sure they will have it for a week lol

not sure what phone you have but either way, sometimes just a small crop to an image can bring the size down substantially.
that's a bummer. Maybe the car is pouting because it's heard you're considering a bmw
