r55 Clubman S 1497 code
I recently got the code diagnosed. I checked the pcv hose and it's not leaking any air. The motor is making what I assume is the 'death rattle'. But I know it's not the chain. A mechanic said that all I had to do was check the hose and replace; but like I stated before, the hose is intact. No air seems to be leaking when everything is hooked up properly, but it does make that noise. What exactly could it be? Do I really have to change out the valve cover?
Thanks.
Thanks.

no, the chain wasn't changed out. the car only has 63k miles. i just got done with opening the valve cover and checking that. everything seemed fine. the hose seems fine. it's holding pressure. i closed everything back up and test drove it. still same noise. but as the car was starting to sputter a bit when i first accelerate. i would like to know of a good mini cooper mechanic, in the houston area, that's reliable. i checked under the car and there seems to be oil leaking from the turbo area. could that be a reason to the problem. i am just waiting for the turbo area to cool down in order to check it out.
