it's the fluid from inside your engine mount. it's broken and needs to be replaced. you should have no problem getting it replaced under warranty.

You probably didn't need to have your Mini towed to the dealer though. It would have been safe to drive it over, without the risk of the tow operator damaging your Mini.
