Hope you get this resolved quickly.

Brake fluid? 'transfer box' oil?

Don't think there is much else that could do that to your driveway.

Not good at all. I hope it’s nothing too serious and can be repaired easily. Please let us know how you get on.

I noticed a wee spot this morning roughly where the rear nearside wheel would have been. Very small but will keep a close eye on it.

There hasn't been anything before that but it did it's first decent run yesterday.

We've had our sr since Saturday and I've just noticed some stain on our drive but it's more spread out done about 80 miles in it

Hi we have the same problem. The garage has looked at it and have kept the car. It is a leak from the motor and they need advice from MG on how to fix it. Ours is aTrophy with 200 on the clock.

BIG sigh of relief all round :)
I was thinking that could be the case. It was either that or the filler/drain plug not tightened or, very unlikely due to the age of the car, a seal weeping.
