R56 HELP! Turbo oil feed line/oil light
HELP! Turbo oil feed line/oil light
So i'm pretty sure i have a leaking turbo oil feed line on my 08 mini clubman S.
It's on the lower bolt NOT the bolt on the turbo,
Also i have 2 very small leaks, and when i say small i mean not even enough for the oil to drip on the ground. it's the oil pan and the filter housing.
My oil light chimes on when i am at idle AFTER the engine has fully warmed up after about 20 min of driving.
It recently has come on at higher RPMs now so i stopped driving the car. (this has all happened fast)
When the car is off the oil drips about a drop every 20 seconds. i haven't looked at it while the car was running.
My question is:
would a leaking turbo oil feed line cause the oil light to come on when the oil is full? (yes i checked my oil) i plan on fixing it myself

Sounds more like an oil pressure issue as opposed to an oil level issue. Verify the light you are getting to be sure.
Oil pressure failure can't be caused by an oil leak if there is still oil in the pan. Something more serious is going on or you have a faulty oil pressure indication.
