2013 650ix Slight Oil Leak on top of engine

While this is a 6 Series question, I'm posting here because we share the same N63TU engine.

I've been getting a slight oil leak on top of my 2013 650ix engine and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what's going on. The pictures show the results of the leak after around 1,000 miles of operation. I can't see where it is actually coming from. The car has 30,000 miles. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Crank case ventilation hose. Should be covered by a 10 year 120k extended warranty.

So prior to taking the car to a local dealership I detailing to them what the problem was with the vent line and directed them to the warranty extension of 10 years and 120K miles for the part and made an appointment.

First thing the Service Advisor says is that BMW says the part has a 7 year warranty and that my car 2013 650 is out of that warranty. This is why I hate dealership service departments. If I were John Q. Public, first I wouldn't have even known about the warranty extension and if I didn't know the details I would have "probably" been charged for the repair.

I told the SA that he was flat out wrong and to look up the actual document. So he did and came back with "Oh yea, the warranty is for 10 years, so it's covered.

Anyway the two lines were replaced and problem solved. See arrows:

Trust me, they knew about it. Dealerships LOVE to double dip. They get you to pay for it AND they also bill BMW for the warranty. You were informed and so they actually had to be honest for once..
