They said the oil filter housing gasket was leaking oil? Did they determine the oil pan was for sure leaking? Surprised they didn't catch this oil leak while it was in. The oil filter housing gasket can be purchased HERE. Is it a Cooper S or a Base Cooper? If it's an S, at the link to the part, click on the tab at the top that says "tech info" and then select the R56 articles. Under Engine there is an oil filter housing gasket replacement that can help you if you're DIY savvy. Otherwise, I'd suggest finding a local MINI indy shop (not the dealer). You can search for one in your area HERE. They will charge you way less than the dealer. For oil leaks, depending on if it's aggressive, I wouldn't leave it unfixed for long. Keep an eye on your oil level as well.
