Something's had a leak in my car...

Got in the car tonight for the first time in a week (woohoo, saving the miles on her!) and noticed the below around the centre console.

Thought it looked like someone had spilt nail varnish remover or similar, but as i'm not prone to painting my nails and no one else has been in the car, i was somewhat bemused. It's hard to the touch, so not just like blistered paint.

As i drove off down the road wondering how much a new console piece my cost, i glanced in the rearview mirror. I noticed it appeared blurry in part, with a line around the middle of it and an almost bubble like feature.

You can sort of see it in the above.

So, it would appear that my mirror has decided to take a leak of whatever the fluid in the autodimming mirrors is, all over the console. Not sure if it's related to the heat or whether it just did it

Anyone had this before?

Chance of it being covered under full warranty? (i'm thinking it should be good?)
