I pay about $50 for my oil changes. I buy seven quarts of Mobil 1 5w-30 from Walmart and order a Mann filter from FCP Euro.
Synthetic oil has become much more costly in the past few years. I was paying about $45 for 10 quarts of synthetic and a Mann filter in 2019. It's now about $76 for the same.
In comparison, my local mechanic shops charges around the same price but they don't use OEM filters so I rather go to my local dealership.
Bought 2 x 20 litre drum of Havoline® ProDS Fully Synthetic LE SAE 5W-40 when the Caltex name left Australia & Ampol sold off all the left over Caltex oil cheap at Repco. $42 for 20 litres!!!!
My '88 Supra is typically just annual oil changes, maybe $40 for synthetic and filter. I've owned it about 14 years.
I also use MANN W719/30. That filter is designed to go a longer interval and for synthetic oils.
New Mann oil filter
I got to Toyota next door for oil and alignment. $170 for both.
I just did a oil change and with EFL 5W40 and use the BIG Mann filter like usuall and realise that the oil as already become a bit blackish...
To me it looks like you have a cheap shitty non oe/oem filter installed. I'd change the filter to a good brand, (mann/mahle/oem bmw) and then clean the area with brake clean then let vehicle run and recheck. If it's leaking as bad as it looks like it is it will be easy to verify that you fixed it
