Off topic, I've noticed my heater/fan speed is all over the board. Have it on high and it blows like a beast then all of a sudden it reduces a lot even though on high. Crazy thing is I feel like it fluctuates during turns. Wondering if I need a new blower motor or something like that.
Sounds like your blower motor resistor. The motor itself is likely fine. If the fan speed is jumping around then it's the resistor. Mine went out on my E46. Not sure if its a common problem or not on our E70's. But what your describing matches the symptoms exactly.

As far as the oil leak, just keep a close eye on it. If it was leaking before it didn't magically repair itself. deposits may have plugged or slowed the leak temporarily. If it was leaking before, it will leak again.

It looks like the resistor bolts directly onto the blower motor.
