You will have to supply some car details for the experts on here to be able to help you. First guess from me is rocker/cam cover leaking?

I think most of us know it's a e46 BMW 323i by now!

If it's fresh looking it might just be some that was spilt last time it was filled or topped up, clean it up and check again in a couple of days to see if it comes back.
