Well, what is the worst that can happen? That you need to top up engine oil a bit earlier? You will get a warning before anything explodes no matter what, so I would not worry too much... If you clean it, how long does it take until oil is visibly leaking? Probably very very long I guess? If so I would say just keep an eye on it.
The transmission is more tricky because it does not give any "oil low" warnings, and cant be topped up easily anyway. A replacement dct is not cheap, so be careful. I think I paid 2k usd here in China for two gasket replacements at bmw. A new dct is like 14k usd incl everything at bmw china (and maybe 2k if you get it from the "black" market and install it yourself... )
