1 Engine Oil Leaking problem of the 2009 Mini JCW

Failure Date: 01/16/2013

The turbocharger oil inlet fitting began leaking oil (2-3 ml/min) onto the hot turbocharger, resulting in smoke and a strong oil-burning smell. The oem turbo inlet fitting utilizes a polymer o-ring that failed due to exposure to heat from the turbo. This is, apparently, a common issue with the turbocharged Mini engines. This is definitely a fire hazard.
