My car has been parked for one month at the garage and when i moved it today, there is a pile of oil on the floor not sure is it motor oil or power steering. Wow surprised. I will have to make a trip to the dealer tomorrow.

Have you checked the indicators on i-Drive? I mean, how much fluid is on the floor? You surely wouldn't want to risk a drive to the dealer if something is dry. 2 cents.
