Alarming oil trail in front of my drive...

Post by Ponyboy » Sat Sep 21, 2013 7:53 pm

I've just come back from the Shop and there seems to be an arc of oil from my drive out onto the highway in what I can only assume is the path I took when I left 15 mins ago...

If it is from the S4, wat might it likely be? Feel rather concerned...

:(

What colour and consistency was it and is there any obvious signs underneath the car anywhere?
Current car: 2007 BMW 530d touring.

Was black, but the consistency looked more like water...at the very least it wasn't heavy. I will check the drive under the car tomorrow and see if there is a deposit on the actual drive.
