Hi,
My mini is a 09 stock and the other day the oil light came on and when i looked under the hood there was oil everywhere. huge puddle on the floor, and a trail of where I drove. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...1&d=1434142419

 

Hello ,

Looks like maybe the timing chain tensioner came out ? clean it up and look more into where it is coming from. Don't start the car or drive it, you have a major leak , ( which you do ). You will stare the engine of oil.

Looks like R56 MINI Cooper S 2009 ( NON S ) :

Here is the car and part. Please have it looked at by a shop or independent to see if there is something else going on .



Here is the section you need.:

Thanks! Yeah it's a non S. I'm trying to get it out now. Gotta take the throttle body off it seems in order to get the bolt out. Thanks again for the information!

 

You are welcome. Get it looked at asap and let me know what you find.
