Evening all!

Over the last few days I seem to have sprung a leak after using the car for approx 300-400
miles over the week. Car is covered by warranty but trying to gauge what is actually happening before it goes in next week. Does anyone know which part I am looking at here??

It's a right cylinder head -- the part you circled is the part of the head that houses the exhaust cam sprocket. Can't tell from your photo where the oil is coming from. Could be a leaky valve cover gasket or worse, a leaky head gasket, or something else. Here's a random pic of the head without its valve cover from the internet

And here's mine:

Very hard to tell and the valve cover doesn't look like its actually leaking.

I am hoping its residual spillage from adding oil, or removing oil filter.

Sorry cant be of any more help

That was my best guess. Clean the area and see if drips reappear.

cleaned and didn’t reappear until the car was driven again

Thats worrying hoping all covered with warranty. Fingers crossed!
