Oil Leaks
An oil leak from your MINI Cooper's engine is a sign that it requires attention, but don't neglect such issues since you might risk running the engine with low oil, causing further issues. An oil leak can develop in a MINI Cooper's engine for various reasons, such as neglected oil changes, failing rubber gaskets, or other reasons.
Check Engine Light
A major warning you should never ignore is the check engine light, indicating that your MINI's engine needs repairs or maintenance. Driving with an unknown check engine light can be bad, especially if the warning light is due to a major problem.
Bad Smells
An unpleasant smell or odor can be a warning sign that your MINI Cooper is experiencing troubles with its engine, such as an oil or coolant leak contacting hot surfaces and emitting those smells. This issue can be a safety concern, making it a good idea to visit a Service Centre for diagnosis and repair.
Excessive Exhaust Smoke
A MINI Cooper with a poor running engine could emit more smoke than normal from the exhaust, but the engine is burning oil if it's blue smoke. Such issues can range from minor to severe, so inspect your MINI if it produces more than normal exhaust smoke.
