Think your video has confirmed that I have the exact same problem. I’ve an oil leak from high up to the front of the engine, soaking the sump and everything else in between 😫🤦♂️ losing a lot of oil recently, not to mention a small coolant leak
Hi Mister Colin, excellent job & Video. I just bought a mini cooper S 09. I notice smoke pipe coming tail pipe and driving big noise passanger side , sound like turbo o part sound " Crack" dealer said is nothing. I told him how pass inspection. I have 30 warranty o money back , please can you advice me?
I'd suggest bringing it to a trusted mechanic, or friend who is familiar with cars. Smoke when you first start the car in the cold is normal, and will go away after the car warms up. If there's white smoke all of the time then it may indicate that there is a headgasket leak, and coolant is going into your engine/exhaust. I'd difficult to tell what the passenger side noise is without hearing it, but I'd lean towards getting your money back unless your mechanic says it's fine.
5:20 Hello, anyone knows what that brace does ? I did this repair on my car about a year ago but I broke the bolt that holds of the brace in at the bottom, just put it back in place and tightened the top so it wouldn't swing when I put things back together (yea that's dumb but I did that lying down on the street under the rain in cold march weather so I just wanted to put things back together at the time). I dunno why I'm rewatching this but now that I see it again I remember I did that and wonder if it's gonna fuck something up in the long term
I believe so. I used the one that came with the kit. I don't think there's anything special about it. www.detroittuned.com/detroit-tuned-turbo-oil-line-kit/
I think im on the same boat. I suspect my oil return feed line is clogged or leaking. It burns my oil empty after two weeks. Smoking only during idle for 10-15 mins.
Great video. Watching your video made the job so much easier! Thanks!
You're welcome. I'm glad you found it helpful

Sorry to hear that. It seems like a common problem for this car especially with the stock (rubber?) washers.

It's been a while since I recorded it, so I don't remember what it held. If your car is running fine now then I assume it would be okay.

Alright, thanks for taking the time to get back to me.
It doesn't seem to have affected it adversely so far, I'll hope for the best 🤞

Did you drain the oil too? Or it is not necessary?
I didn't drain the oil. I don't think it's necessary, but you may need to top it off if it's low.
any chance you could share the mini part numbers for the gaskets?
Are you referring to the downpipe gasket? It's 18-30-7-589-503 amzn.to/40KkVev.
same thing is happening to mine, guess this is my next repair
sorry to hear that
Top video. Thanks very much
Thanks. You're welcome!
What is the second metal line on the turbo called and where does it go?
The other one is a waterline. www.minimania.com/images_temp/800600001g2nmk2222b.jpg

is it just a standard crush washer on the supply line?
I believe so. I used the one that came with the kit. I don't think there's anything special about it. www.detroittuned.com/detroit-tuned-turbo-oil-line-kit/
where can I buy that steel braided oil feed line ?
amzn.to/3e2oGHV or www.detroittuned.com/detroit-tuned-turbo-oil-line-kit/
Do you get any check engine light or any Code?
Not for the turbo line install since it's a stock replacement. Thanks for the question!
Not, thank you, for take your time making videos educational, 🙏💯✌️

Was their oil on the downpipe close to the flange??
Asked the question before watching all of it
