Two problems related to engine oil leaking have been reported for the 2008 Mini Cooper. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The dealer informed me my oil feed lines to the turbo were leaking and would need to be replaced soon. After doing some research found the couplings that attaches these lines to the turbo are defective. There are hundreds of complaints about this issue. The dealer says there is not a recall and will cost approx: $1500. 00. The dealer installed a turbo shild to help with the heat that is casuing the line to prematurely fail. With so many effectived shouldn't Mini be fixing this issue.
