Smoke coming out of clutch, 08 Cooper S
This was scary at first.
The car has was making a sound right after it starts moving from 1st gear in stop and go traffic, it seemed to be coming from the left front wheel.
Yesterday I was again in stop and go traffic on a hill and it started smelling like burned clutch, I though it was the car in front of me
but then I saw smoke coming out of my MINI 
for a second I panic and thought the car was going to catch on fire, but then I knew it was my clutch, it was not making the noise anymore but now there was smoke coming out 
. I had to stop, waited for a while and then went back home.
Now the clutch feels very light, I'm taking it in for service tomorrow..
Please wish me luck!
