Blue fluid leaking INSIDE my mini by the driver side

I notice that the drivers side of my mini cooper S is wet with blue fluid. This is a brand new 2009 mini cooper S that I purchased only three months ago. Anyone else having this problem?

The coolant is blue. Maybe your heater core is leaking coolant. Time for a trip to the service department.

Coolant is usually greenish-blue. Blue fluid may be simply a leaky windshield washer line. Still, it's a job for the dealer's shop. Let us know how it turns out.

Maybe from the clutch. I had a '97 Integra GSR with a hydraulic clutch that developed a leak that dripped down the pedal into the carpeting. Definitely get her back to the dealer.

Being blue could be the coolant. However I'm sure you could smell it if it was coolant. Time to take it to the dealer and have them sort it out.

MINI/BMW coolant is Blue, nice pretty dark blue, washer fluid is clear from factory. That's weird though, never heard of this, but heater core is there with lines pretty much in the middle of your car. Keep us Posted!

brake fluid's blue? Unless he replaced the brake system w/ racing fluid, more likely to be coolant...

What you find out sudo? Take it to the dealer yet?
