Two Questions - with pics, help please

[bmw156]

hey guys, some of you might remember my previous thread about my exhaust coming off, and it was suggested that my front mount was knackered, removed it today just to check it and i think i can say its knackered lol. pics







and also, i have recently noticed i have been leaving small puddles of fluid after i have parked, today i parked up at home, laid on the ground and watched it drip. and it drips from these places....


please ignore the stupid drawing lol. that pic is after i cleaned it btw.

its annoying lol.

any help is appreciated.

Regarding the oil leak, Have a good look aroung the rocker cover to see if there is any seepage around there. I spent ages thinking there was some sort of leak around there only to find that it was from the top of the motor  :embarassed:

Worth a peep

Dripping from that area could be your crank seal.

Looks like alot of oil under you car there! either leaking down from rocker cover or like wayne says crank seal

Or sump gasket

thanks guys, i didnt want to hear crank seal, but it was in the back of my mind.

i have given everything a good degrease today, so hopefully i can start to hunt out where it is coming from.

will start taking bits of soon to check/replace gaskets

p.s, there isnt any real way to check the crank seal, other then taking the box off is there?
