Does anyone know what the plug marked with a red arrow is called? I've got the intake off the car and can see that mine is leaking, but I don't what sort of seal to get

Found it! http://minifans.info/parts-catalog/R...ock/#7558633_9

 

Yep taht looks like it https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...117558633~oem/

 

I just picked it up from the local MINI Garage here in Canberra... will fit it today. AUD$14, and they looked up the torque spec for me (30 Nm). :-)

PS I look it up on ECS, but the shipping to Australia for a cheap part is a lot...

 

FYI, the oil drain plug will fit there.

 

Just a heads up to those who are doing a clutch or have their trans off, make sure 2 of the same type of plugs behind the flywheel are tightened!
After finding out my clutch plate was put in backwards on the first go, the second time I put it back together - I had oil leaking out of my trans when I started the car. The same type of plugs were finger loose and draining oil. Its alot of work to go through just to get to them and tighten them up, so if you are in there be sure to check them!!
