Just got my first E30 325i (1986) and it looks like I have an oil leak coming from the front lower area of the engine very difficult to pinpoint it.

Clean it up first then you will be able to see where the oil is comming from. Rocker cover, front of the head, belt tensioner, oil switch, pully seals, cam seals endless guesses.

And get an m30 in there for next time you ask in this part of the forum lol. m20 is to small and torqueless. + it has oil leaks.
