I know my aux water pump kicks in when I shut the car off. Kind of a muted buzzing whining sound.

BTW the clubman is back in business I think. Drove it for a while yesterday without any smoking and the coolant has leveled off. Im just scared something else is gunna go now.. haha

Yes the aux water pump in the front makes a buzzing noise after shut down for a minute or two. Sets below on the front of the engine / transmission connection , below the oil filter housing. Its pretty small. These are only on the turbo engines.

Does not really sizzle.

Nice the clubman is back !

Happy to hear this! I still smelled coolant from my car a few days later. We were under it working on it for hours over the weekend so it was dripping on components for some time. Mine is all gone as well. Don't be scared. Just enjoy your MINI now and if anything arises just give me a shout!

Awesome!! Glad to hear

Yeah my car is not only fixed of leaks but also a slightly different beast with a catless dp and IC. Win-win situation from a maintenance and mods standpoint
