Looks like my 190D is leaking oil around the oil pan. Can't tell how much yet. Is this going to cause me a lot of grief? My plan was to just monitor it and keep adding oil as needed. I just don't want it to get too much worse.

Try retorquing the bolts. They may have worked loose over time.

It might just be a loose bolt where you drain the oil out. Mine leaks from there, probably need a new rubber o-ring gasket if it uses one or just needs retorqued. But it's too cold and wet out so it can wait
