2012 Countryman oil in discharge pipe

Hey all I have searched all over and haven't found what i'm looking for. I have oil leaking out of the upper joint of the discharge pipe. Making a mess out of the left side of the motor, I can smell it in the car and outside when I come to a stop.
I own an oil diesel truck and expect it to smell of diesel but not from my Mini.

Point me in the right direction please.

Thanks

mine had a little oil coming out same spot when brand new ... as the oil level lowrred to 1/2 it stopped and the oil level stayed at 1/2 until oil change .... after oil change the same thing, oil from tube until level dropped to 1/2 ... so since then, i only put 4 quarts in ... that puts the oil level right at 1/2 ... no more oil from the tube and no oil consumption between oil changes
