oil and coolant issue

took mini to shop today for a little oil leak.

looks like the pcv system is causing the leak.
we believe the valve cover will need to be replaced and assuming the hose to turbo.

also while looking for the oil issue we noticed a coolant leak from what looks to be a cooler or something middle rear of motor.

​​​​​​​any help with part#'s or ideas of what could be going on would be greatly appreciated.

Check ECSTuning.com - I bought my valve cover from them.

also - for the coolant, check www.mini-rp.com to see if your MINI is covered under a thermostat housing issue.

I was having issues with oil too, my turbo ended up being cracked. Had to replace that and the valve cover on my R56 JCW. I know yours is for the Countryman.
