When I came back from England, I caught a cold; Margaret suffered too. Now apparently it has spread to GBMINI! I noticed recently that since the John Cooper Works upgrade, GBMINIs engine area is a little oily, as if there is a slight leak somewhere. Then yesterday I noticed a small oil patch on the driveway.
So I visited Gary at MINI Peabody today. He & Brian were not able to determine the source of the oil, although the crank seal is suspected. They aggressively cleaned the dirt and oil from the engine, and I will go back soon to see if, clean, it is possible to identify the source of the leak.
Meantime, they cleaned GBMINI outside as well:
While I was there, I met Danielle & Kevin picking up their new Chili Red MINI from Hrach … I thought they would never get away!
