Hi, I have a 2014 CLS 550 and oil is leaking whenever I start the car but once the car has been running for about 30 seconds the leak seems to stop. Can someone please look at the pics I have included and give me suggestions on what might cause this problem. Thank you!

This is on cold start up

This is after running for 30 seconds no stream

... Could be valve cover gasket, but if that is the case change both. GL

oil filter housing at that age MAYBE
turbo oil feed/drain more likely given the pressurized nature of that oil leak

the oil lines are a restriction so there tends to be a spray

I just made a post about my oil leaks a week or two ago. Check a few posts called oil leaks

seems to be on the driver side which makes me guess oil filter housing or cooler housing. You need to check and see how high up you can start to see oil. Could be the cam timing covers or the camshaft adjusters magnets themselves.
