Default Oil leak ?

Hello everyone
i am a recent owner of a macan base 2021 with 21k miles
i just took it to a local shop who specializes in imports to just have a inspection
upon doing they found this(attached picture)
how would the oil get onto the silver metal hose or it was a bad job doing an oil change
i have an appointment next week at porsche dealership to have it serviced which i dont know if general warranty will cover
any ideas of what it could be
safe to drive ? Im more concerned if its not engine oil and its something else because i can see the engine oil level

EA888 2.0 4-cylinder

What warranty status do you have? You should be covered under the original manufacturer’s 4yr/50k miles warranty. Do you agree?

Probably oil spilled when filling, without the proper funnel, that is very easy to do.....
The oil fill opening at the top of the engine is right above the drip area.

Yes, looks like a spill when adding oil. Clean it up, drive the car for a week and see if the oil shows up again.

I woke up this morning and clean it up oil pan and surrounding area

drove about 70-90 miles
came back and its still clean so im assuming it was a drip

is the normal operating oil temp between 216-223? Mine is constantly between 219-223

i floored it and went up 130-140mph and oil temp got up to 230 but went right back down

Oil temperature normally ranges between 200F and 235F, no worries.

What does the oil level indicator in the MFD say?
