You're probably a long way from the nearest dealer, but that will be your only solution unless it's simply a loose hose. Anything else (like leaking seals) will require dealer attention.

Did you mean the leakage on the black container around the cap?

Its a product of BMW... I don't think I have ever seen a BMW that doesn't have a power steering leak. I am actually very suprised that more MINI's do not.
