Oil leak I think.

Went out to install my new CF lip (thanks Euroteck) and noticed some drops of oil near the front right part of the engine and back near the center of the car behind the wheels on the garage floor. It looks like oil, but it's been falling in a dirty floor so I can't tell if it's black because of that, or for other reasons.

I was going to take it in this week for a sudden power drop at high rpms (my thought was intercooler pump, but I can hear it running - possible it goes out randomly?) - is it possible that it's supercharger oil and that's also causing it to heat up and cut out?

I'm taking it in, and I'm under warranty, but any advice is appreciated for guiding the SA if he's stupid about something specific to AMG - which I've found they are.

i could be wrong here, but i don't think our superchargers have a seperate oil system do they? i would think intercooler pump in regards to the car cutting out....

as far as the oil, i say clean up the floor so you can tell what it is before you take it in...
