So I came out Sunday afternoon (after last driving the X1 Saturday morning) and opened the garage door to find a puddle of coolant at the front of our X1. Moved it over to our lift bay and cleaned up the mess. Didn't seem like alot but the felt aero shield seems to have absorbed quite a bit as it kept dripping overnight.
Today is Monday I've been disassembly things, removed the intake manifold to verify it's not a leak from above. It's a slow drip that literally looks like it's coming from between the oil pan and block right where the oil filter housing is.
I found pictures of the housing which is part of the oil cooler. Can anyone confirm if coolant runs through the cooler? I suspect this whole assembly which is partially plastic has cracked or a seal has failed but want to verify coolant actually runs through this piece.

Seems like so… someone had the same thing happened before too. If it’s coming from the oil cooler it probably is because of a cracked wall in the housing.
