What does the stain smell of? I'd hazard a guess at diesel as it looks like a pre-heater.

Diesels (both 2.5TD BMW and the 2.2's) are chain driven cams. Regular service intervals are a must (maximum 5k between). :y

I could be wrong but I think the 2.2 diesel has a seperate heater which is diesel fueled and for colder climates

You're right Pete, prone to leaking too. That's why I asked if it smelt of anything ;)

A while ago my old man thought he had a coolant leak from under his car so he tasted the fluid to see if it was sweet to taste, it wasn't, turns out his drains were blocked ;D ;D
