Hello everyone, this is my first post. I've heard good things about this site, I've 100% faith we can figure out what I've done to my car.
...I'll bring Yu up to speed on it's last running state, then talk about the time leading up to the problem, and etc...

2005 Cooper S r53, Cold air intake, and exhause (flowmaster thing or something. 201,000mls, only issues I ever had with this car was the fuel pump and fuel filter, and the idler pulley was replaced....all work done over a year ago and not linked to the current problem.....car was running as usual, only thing I really noticed odd lately was that it seamed stubborn to start. Has always started on like the first turn of the starter. Lately it seams like it turned over a few times before firing up. But again, ran fine once cranked.. I shook it off as a weak battery....
...next would be an odd idle..not noisey, just seamed to move the car a little while idling in park...I just gritted my teeth a prayed it wasn't my transmission going out...
....
Ok, so I was at a red light when a car gets the jump on me, at next red light I get the jump on him, we accelerat for 3/4 of one city block to the next red light, I let out and roll the last 1/4way to the red light bc I won ..when the other driver comes along side, I give the 2 finger salute then turn my car around, when I give it gas to accelerate (at a normal speed) there no power, so I give it a little more and I hear my valves "tickling". I back off the gas, and feather the accelerator because it's very late at night and this is not a part of town a person's should be driving through much less walking, I have to get to a store...and I do, I feather the gas to the store, as I pull into a parking ace I let off the Gas and it dies.
....I check fluids and there's no oil, or water. I shine a light and see OIL everywhere behind the engine on passenger side. I look under the car and there's a puddle of oil begining to form.
I put oil, and water in and
....my battery was weak, so I had someone jump me off....the engine will turn over maybe four times then "burp" a little "blub blub blub".
..only smoke I saw was from the oil being burned off the engine.....
....I only tried cranking it twice then locked it down for the night and had it trailered home...
....once home I pulled the from passenger wheel and fender shroud off. ...
....I have oil everywhere behind the engine. And I can't tell exactly where it came from.
......what can I do, to determine where the oil came from?
....there is no water in oil, nor did I see any signs of water that had just sprayed out...no steam smoke either.
...btw, I can't honestly say that the car had water in it prior this happening...I mean I check it periodically with no change in level.
....

Oil pressure sensorCrank seal, oil pan gasket, oil filter gasket ....
