water pump o-ring / mystery oil leak diagnosis
water pump o-ring / mystery oil leak diagnosis
I noticed a coolant / oil mixture leaking beneath the MINI so I pulled the SC and the water pump o-ring appears to be the culprit for the coolant leak. The SC oil on the water pump side looked surprisingly clear / oily with no metal parts. However, there's something leaking oil and it looks like it's above the crank position sensor but I'm not sure.
The coolant is the recommended gold zerex and has no oil in it.
I started to clean up the mess on the oil pan but realized it might not be the crank sensor ring so I stopped and snapped a pic.
Any ideas on the leak?
