Z4 Bad oil leak

[GR3]

The car has a big puddle of oil running out the side under car. It's leaking a lot and the car isn't running where could it be coming from.
Thanks

If you can, I would remove the undertray and have a good look with a torch from underneath the car.

Could be coming from anywhere - from the oil sump gaskets, oil filter housing, transmission cooler to a simple rocker cover gasket.

Try have a good look from the engine bay or post some pics up if you are unsure.

Hope you get this sorted!

Start your inspection from the top down, for obvious reasons.
If you have the m54 engine I’m willing to bet my left ear and some of my top trumps collection that it’s your valve cover gasket.

I was going to say left testicle, but I value it more than losing it in a silly bet :lol:
