Looks like the #Renault #Scenic 2 is leaking oil.
I was able to confirm my gearbox reverse light switch repair and gearbox oil change are not the source of this (gearbox still full, lowest spot of the engine is just at the gearbox darin plug thats why the oil goes there).
Cleaned the accessible bottom part of the engine, found that the gaskets of the oil stick failed so ordered a new one and found out that the oil is actually coming right from the top of the engine. To access this part, a special nut and a new air inlet gasket are required. Waiting for those now...
According to some online sources, the screws that hold on the cover are not sealed/tend to leak around the screw head. So just removing one at a time, cleaning the surface and reassembling them with a bit of "gasket maker" could fix this. Cleaning is useful anyways to find out where exactly the oil comes from if this does not fix it.

Check out the number plate too: onomatopoeia for “Deux Chevaux”. Two horses = two fiscal horsepower (which basically determines the registration fee).
2CV6 had a “flat 2” boxer engine with inboard disk brakes (in the engine bay), air cooling, and maybe 33 bhp. 🤷♂️

According to Wikipédia this frenchie-frenchie model was not a popular success, being deemed too flashy and too patriotic. Really? I don't think so!

@Mark Totally disagree! 😂
That’s because I’ve always loved some of the dash mounted manual transmission gear levers from older Citroëns or Renaults. Peugeots probably had them too. 🤷♂️
I believe the Renault 16 also had a steering column mounted manual shifter.
