New problem with Mini

'94 mini S with 40k miles. I noticed spotting on the garage floor last week
and took it to the dealership. They said it was a leak from the power
steering hose and replaced it.

Spotting continued. Took it in again. This time they problem was
determined to be a leaking rear main seal which resulted in fluid being
leaked all over the sub frame.

Hopefully the leaks have stopped. At least it was still under warranty
because it would have cost big bucks to replace the main seal (remove drive
shaft, transmission and clutch).

I had no idea they were making Mini S back in 1994?
