This is on my BFFs brand new MINI. She just completed her first ever detail and thought she'd spilled something on the car somehow and asked me to take a look when she was over. I noticed she had the same "spill" in the exact same places on both sides of the car so figured it was not that.
Anyway when you lift the hood, there is a place at each corner and this mess seems to be dripping from it. When you lift the hood there is a small opening at each of these corners and you can see there is this clear oily stuff just ready to keep dripping. I figured it out when I pressed on the hood a bit and created more drip! Needless to say it's made a mess out of her trim and I'm thinking it will be a pain to get off.
When I thought about it I realized my R56 had grease dark spots in the same place and I always thought it had to do with me dripping the liquid wax or something when I was detailing. But mine were nowhere near the extent of this.
She is going to the dealer on Tuesday so will have it looked at. But when she gets it back (assuming they don't replace the trim which is what I told her they should offer to do) I'm wondering how to best clean this up. She has been cleaning it with Adams all purpose cleaner for the past 2 days thinking it was an error she made.
