This morning, I saw fluid drops on the floor under the front passenger side. So I raised the car and found where the leak is and took some pictures. I would appreciate any input as to where the source of this fluid leak. It is a 6-speeds manual transmission, 2.0L Engine with 65-K miles. Is it safe to drive the car until I take it to a Mini repair shop? Thanks

Might be from that motor mount?

I would check the bottom of the motor mount on that passenger side.

As it turned out, the Fluid Leak was from the Rubber Bushing at the end of the Front Axle Support/Wishbone Arm. See the RealOEM Parts link below & Attachment:

ah, must be fluid filled. All the other MINIs are solid for Gen 1 and Gen 2.

I guess you can see that in the design a little.
