First hello everyone thank you for letting me join. I have purchased a 2009 Mini Cooper S Convertible to use as a tow vehicle behind my motorhome. Immediately discovered it has some oil leak issues on the turbo. I have been looking at replacement parts and they are all over the board, any suggestions for reputable places to order parts from. Thanks again

 

Welcome to the forum. I have found the vendors that advertise on this site to be excellent sources for parts. To this point, I have only ordered from OutMotoring and have been very happy but I have had few needs. I anticipate several people with more specific recommendations will follow.

Any pictures to share?

 

Hello,
We are here for you and if you need something or have question, I am just a PM away. Does not even have to be about parts, most of the time people ask me about the model, what it came with, or history of the model and what options.

 

Welcome, since you have a 09 Cabrio it is considered an R57 when you look for parts. We keep all those seals in stock as we repair oil leaks on Gen 2 cars weekly in our shop.

You need to get under it and find out where the leaks are coming from, but oil filter housings and turbo oil lines are the most common.

 

Thank you Waymotorworks
I have put it up on my lift and leak is coming from turbo oil feed line. I have ordered replacement kit with the lines and all the gaskets for the lines and oil filter housing. Also ordered new drilled and slotted rotors and brake pads and new rims. Now if it would all just hurry up and get here

 

Sheldon,

Did you get your Mini sorted out? If so, let us see some pics....,

Haven't got the leaks sorted out yet, but the parts have finally arrived so that is this weekends project. While I was waiting I put new wheels, brakes, sensors and drilled and slotted rotors

 

That is very nice! Love the wheels!

I like the rims . Are those ddr ?

 

Thanks they are Drag DR-19

 

Hot chocolate on pepper white looks great. Nice to see they opted for the matching HC top.

 

Agreed, that is one of the reasons we chose this one, it is a little different
