Oil leak from front axle area

[TigerWuxia]

My R1S was parked in garage for a week and today I found a small puddle of oil under the front end of vehicle. Also saw oil dripping from front axle area.
The oil seems to be colorless and odorless. Is it oil leak from drive unit, or hydraulic fluid leak from suspension? Thoughts? Rather disappointing with quality now as my R1S is < 2000 miles.

Is it oil or condensation? Most likely was a problem from day 1.

It is oil, not water or condensation. The leak might have been going on for a while but that is the first time I saw it on the garage floor.

Were it me I would pull the covers and take a look see. Not sure what your situation is if you are able to do this. If not, get it into service.

Drive axle seal is leaking. Make a service appointment but it's still fine to drive until then.

Just picked up my R1S from service center. They replaced drain plug, then drained and refilled fluid for front drive unit. All good now but will need to see how the reliability looks like in the long term.
