My MINI did that last week. Seems the timing chain tensioner bolts worked out
and opened the oil galley to the street. I am sure the local SlepBoys is not
happy with me. 4 qts of 5-50 synthetic in their driveway before the tow truck
got there.
Known problem, just wish they had recalled it BEFORE I left 4 qts of oil on the
Slepboys parking lot.
