Leaking green fluid 2013 countryman

I just got a 2013 countryman and it is leaking green fluid. Thoughts? It is not oil.

Will the leak be covered under 3 yr bumper to bumper warrenty?

S/be blue coolant in most cases, i would make sure car is flushed properly at repair time.

Take her a jug of water and refill the coolant tank then get it in for service. Also, it's always good to make it a habit of checking ALL fluid levels regularly unless you live for surprises.

It should be covered by Mini, I'd let them come get it. If you drive and all the fluid comes out quickly you might do major damage.

mine JUST came out of the dealer for fixing the thermostat housing for the second time in two years. it's common that they go bad and crack as well as the waterpump failing.
