: Smoke Residue from Engine?

I've had my MCSa for 2 weeks now, and I noticed some sort of black smoke residue coming from the engine area onto the front bumper area. Could someone tell me what this is or why it's happening please?

I'm taking it back to the dealership, but I'd like some kind of background info so that they can't just say that it's "normal". Thanks in advance.

Wow, don't wanna scare you or anything Lil_Mini but I think you should really get that checked out\. Sorry I can't be any help.

It could just be environmental?? Look under the bonnet and see if there are any areas with the same sort of residue. Good luck!
