CLS 550 Oil leak

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!

at start up

after 30 seconds

The color guarantees this is engine oil and the location says heat exchanger or oil filter housing.

Any oil & coolant mixing??
Coolant in oil can kill the engine liw oil does to!

Go top side yo explore in the matching area

That is crazy, and a new one for me.
My only thought is if very overfilled with oil it could do that. Otherwise I got nuthin, but cant wait to see what it is!
