Looks like the poster after you said that it shouldn't leak from the oil pan if it is just sitting?
Forgot to also mention that my engine is an M54 and it is a LHD vehicle.
Another thing I should note. I did drain the oil completely from the engine and let it sit overnight empty and it still showed signs of oil leaking in those areas pictured. Obviously, probably from residual oil, but just maybe another hint that could help me figure out exactly where the leak may be coming from.
