I opened up the hood on my 2010 hcr and noticed some oil spay under the hood, the sled doesnt even have 200km on it. Should I be concerned ?

its your exhaust donut...between the y-pipe and the mid pipe
my 07 did this AND my buddies 2010 M8 is doing it as well - no concern, just looks like hell on a brand new sled

i replaced the donut and it fixed it
maybe someone w a cat can chime in for you???

Yup I agree with the donut leak, make sure you use a high temp oil resistant silicon gasket material though. On the other hand, my 09'M8 was doing this also, and upon further inspection, the weld between the y pipe was cracked, so have a good look at this also.
