Fluid leak in R53?

Hi,

My MCS is 2006 with 26K miles, and it already has a fluid leak. The leak comes from the indicated container. I want to ask you experts first before I bring the car in. I have attached a picture of the engine bay with an arrow pointing to it.

Thanks!

Chris

I seem to find out the problem. Sorry, I was impatient to use the search button. It is the hydraulic motor mount leak. Moderator, please delete this thread.

Yes, it is indeed the infamous leaking passenger motor mount.
