Besides the leaking power steering line, the other 3 are imperative to get my Mini running. From what I understand, the AC compressor is locking up causing the engine to stall out. The oil issue needs to be fixed asap since it's not a small leak... oil leaks HEAVILY. I'm not too sure about the water pump but since Eric says it's an immediate issue, I'll have to get it repaired. And yes, mine is a Cooper S.

Now I'm starting to worry that my supercharger is messed up as well!!! Aaarrggh!!! If it was damaged, wouldn't the dealership guys have caught it?

This car has been a major pain in the *** to maintain... It has leaked every fluid possible. A couple months ago it was leaking coolant which I had gotten fixed. Also was leaking freon. It's just insane.
