Hey guys,

Was a bit curious if this happens to anyone else. Never happened at all until recently. At work sometimes my car is on a TINY incline, and I mean very tiny. But when I start it up lately after my shift, it seems to rev a little higher than it used to when the engine turns over, and blue smoke out the exhaust (oil) for about 5 seconds, and then it goes away.

I NEVER noticed it before so I called MINI and schedule service today in about an hour so they can check it out. I only notice the blue smoke on startup, has anyone else had this?

 

Looks like I had to leave it there overnight so they can try and replicate it. Poop

 

Sounds like the seal in the turbo may be going out.....let us know what they say, OK?
