just put down my top and had a little trouble getting down. As I drove away, oil of some kind leaked out of the area by garage remote button. Anyone had anything like this?

Investigate doing this yourself. About $1250 at the dealer. I used the repair kit and it took about 3 hours for a first time repair. Probably could do it in 1.5 hours the second time. Alternative is pulling seats for a complete hose replacement. Probably would do the complete hose replacement if I had the opportunity to do it over again. Several posts on leaks with the repair kits.
