Default strange oil leak

i got the oil changed in my mini about a month ago and didn't have a problem until last night or early this morning. there was a spot underneath the car, but it was right next to the passenger tire in the front of the car. i opened the hood and saw oil on the frame. i wasn't sure where it might be coming from, so i thought i'd ask here. any suggestions?

the first image is a further back shot while the second is a close up of the oil.

sorry for how large the pictures are. i didn't resize them. as it turns out, the leaky part is a hydraulic motor mount. more info here: strange oil leak - North American Motoring
