2009 30i instant oil leak
So I cleaned the engine bay today with auto parts store degreaser, replaced my air filter, replaced the cabin recirc filter, and now have a huge oil leak on the passenger side of the engine - seems to be dripping on the last exhaust header pipe from what I can tell, then to the cat.

What the heck? I did wiggle the airbox a bit to get the last bolt latched, but what could have happened to cause this instantly? I know valve cover gasket is the first thing to suspect, but it was so sudden.

Are there any CCV parts in the area that could be leaking?
