    So, my 2015 mini cooper s (F56) is about 3 months old. Just cleaned my garage floor last week (my previous vehicle was a Land Rover Defender turbo diesel). I kept an oil drip pan on floor, but the truck tinkled all over. Anyway, now with a spotless floor, I notice that my new mini has apparently left a quarter sized spot of what appears to be oil on the floor. Have moved car in and out of garage since spot first appeared 2 days ago and have not noticed another spot. Anybody have any experiences like this. The spot appears near bulkhead / firewall (front to rear orientation) and slightly toward the passenger side, but not far from center (left to right orientation). Any advice would be appreciated.

    I would take it to the dealer and have it checked.

    Check your oil with the electronic dipstick & get to the dealer asap. Good luck.

    It should be an easy warranty fix.
