As the title suggests there is an oil leak on my ladys 60 plate Mini Cooper 'Graphite' which only has 7k miles on the clock.
We bought the car 3 weeks ago from a main dealer so I know the problem will be covered under warranty, but I was wondering if anyone has had a similar problem. I noticed several drips on the driveway have just appeared the last day or two and a newspaper underneath the engine this evening has confirmed the leak. I have had a look under it and there are no obvious leaks that I can see or touch, in fact its bone dry. So I suspect it may be emanating from the central area of the engine. No apparant leaks from the oilcap/dipstick area either. My knowledge of this type engine is sparse to say the least!
Any ideas before I book it in and get the usual 'they all do that sir' bks???
Thanks in anticipation.....
