Looks like your engine mount has failed. This is a pretty common problem with MINIs.

I would replace the mount as soon as possible, and clean up that oil before it eats into the paint.

Nice diesel engine, by the way!

Not terribly expensive, and it is pretty quick to replace too.

I was thinking "what the F*** kind of engine is that?!" Then I remembered they offer a diesel in Europe.
