I purchased a 2011 Cooper s the garage replaced timing chains and related parts yesterday pulling away from a slight incline I noticed a puff of smoke and then when stoped on the drive there was a small patch of fluid checked when cold no obvious leaks should I be worried

You'll get better help on an R series forum-this is for the post 14 F. -fluid could be aircon condensate-don't panic and timing chain wouldn't cause smoke-sometimes they do with age-valve stem seals etc.
