Misfiring issues

my cm only has 1400 miles on him took it in for a check engine light found out it was misfiring in cylinder one. I saw the oil on the valve cover after opening the hood and it was all over the top right side and around the plugs told the dealership when I dropped it off monday and they told me yesterday that it was not leaking, and that it was normal I dont think so . So it will b three days wed that they have had my mini, told me today that they called mini usa and told them to replace all the fuel injectors so dump this shouldn't be happening on a brand new car. don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but I just find it annoying this is happing to a 1 month old brand new car and I drove it so nice while the breaking in period so I dont know what to think, my chevy truck had no problems till year 4.

So got me mini back last wed after 3 days of driving a kia rental car , so the tech said that they found faults in 2EE2, 2EE6, 2EFE AND 2EFF FOLOOWED MISFIRE ran test plan removed coils and plugs no faul TS found, they performed fule quality test found alcohol at 10% opened contact with TSE for additional assit YSE advis replacing fuel injectors and reste adapations, replaced all 4 injectors and reset adaptations.

So dont know what the codes are. I assume that was for the injectors, so they changed those and it was running pretty well now knock on wood .
The only prob i had was my mini was dirty inside and out when i got it back after i just cleaned it .

So it happened again last thursday misfiring cylinder 1 made appt for monday and they still have him, tech called me today and said that mini said to replace all spark plugs and coils, but they had to order them b/c then didnt have any? I thought these were the same motors in the mcs? I don't know I have a feeling something raise else happened so I'm going to check it out tonight when I get off work. They said they were doing cold starts and driving it around to see if it threw a code , they better put gas in it this time .
