Potential Oil problem

[jbenington86]

I think I could possibly have a potental oil problem of some kind... not sure which kinda tho... I was out for a good 60 mile drive or so just for fun and needed to take some pictures.. after i got done I came inside and after a bit realized I forgot my camera in my car... when I came back outside there was a nice size stream of oil and water mix...I have looked under my car and touched any place where water was dripping from my car and I couldnt find anything. My theory as of right now is that while driving a good amount of water was sitting on the large plasic cover on the bottom of the engine compartment and when I stopped it all eventually drained out and washed away the oil that someone else left behind from earlier. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Iv checked almost everything I could think of.. checked the oil with the computer and looked in the engine compartment and looked down to see if I could see any pool of oil ro something but it appeared to be just a little water.

Put a piece of cardboard under the car. If it drips oil, you'll know.

That looks like Pennzoil, not BMW synthetic.

speaking of the devil iv never seen the difference between synthetic oil and regular motor oil mixed with water.... hahaha... but could it be break fluid or hydrolic fluid from the clutch?

Wow, I'm pretty sure that is 10-30W Castrol oil, case pack--not singles. I'm sure likely from Schucks, definitely not Walmart.
