What does it mean if a 1985 BMW sprung a leak and pooled a puddle that smelled like gasoline and oil mixed but didn't leak after the car heated up?

In: BMW

Answer

Please provide more details. Did you look to see where this oil was coming from? Does the oil on the dip stick smell like gas? Just a guess but many of the older models cars have a fuel pump mounted on the engine if the fuel pump diaphram has a hole in it it could possibly send gas mixed with oil to the ground as well as in the engine.
