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?

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 diaphragm has a hole in it it could possibly send gas mixed with oil to the ground as well as in the engine. , EzForJesus
Make sure it Really IS Gasoline and/or Oil leaking. My 1986 535i. (assuming the engines are not too much different) Starting getting a pool under it only when it was parked and it was coolant/water leaking out from a hose clamp. Found out the coolant spraying was washing off oil and residue that was from a previous (fixed) leak that simply was not cleaned up.
