Overheating and oil leak in BMW 3 Diesel

Hi, I have a 2014 BMW 3 series with a diesel engine and 224,000 km on the odometer. I'm experiencing slow temperature gauge rise to 100 from 50, and the engine is overheating. In addition, I notice some oil leakage and smoke coming from the engine. What could be the cause of these problems, and how can I solve them? Thanks for your help!

Start by checking the coolant level and ensure there are no leaks in the cooling system. Low coolant can cause overheating and slow temperature gauge response. If the coolant level is fine, inspect the radiator and hoses for blockages or damage. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions.
