Okay I don't usually post on the forums, I use them to try to get some information, just being honest. I do want to mention a good repair experience I had in Orlando Florida. I had the leaking oil lines and oil cooler. I contacted these folks they quoted me 750 which seemed very reasonable considering mini was 1800. Of course along the way they found some other things the car has 136000 miles on it and it needed a clutch and a pressure plate and throwout bearing and sleeve, it needed an oxygen sensor rear from oil dripping on it, and the water pump metal replacement and a few other things that I can't even remember right now.

All work was awesomely done. Car runs great. Total bill was $2000 and I never got my knuckles dirty. The shop said they appreciate any kind words so Im doing so. It was Ian and Phil at Maitland. Not shilling, heres the box of used parts they returned back to me.

 

Awesome, I've called them in the past but yet to take the plunge and pay a visit. I'll have to give em a try soon.
