Mini Cooper S Clubman owners have reported 3 problems related to engine oil leaking (under the engine and engine cooling category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The vehicle is a 2010 and was purchased new. In 2012 the vehicle was brought in to the dealer because it idled and ran rough. The dealer repaired and/or replaced the timing chain. It had approximately 10,000 miles on it. In September 2015 the vehicle was again brought in to the dealer because it idled and ran rough. The dealer again repaired and/or replaced the timing chain. The vehicle has approximately 23,000 miles on it. As of today, 10/07/15, this vehicle is leaking oil and the dealer will need to be contacted for repairs. I have all service receipts for review.

Car rattling and sounding like a diesel for over a year. Dealer service advised to check oil and be sure oil level was proper. November 2011, all oil leaked out of car onto garage floor. Car towed to dealer service. They explained oil leaked because a "plug" had come loose. Dealer replaced sealing ring and adjusted the chain. I expressed concern about the engine and requested a diagnostic be done. Service manager replied the car was already put together and I would need to make another appointment. Car continued to rattle loudly. Made another appointment December 2011 after researching online and finding a known problem with tensor chain. I informed dealer that I expected the chain to be replaced and a complete engine diagnostic. Dealer replaced tensor chain. Car continues to rattle intermittently. Oil is checked twice per week and kept at proper level.
