Thanks for the advice. I've checked under the oil cap and it's clean so I'm guessing it hasn't leaked into there. When driving the temperature guage doesn't go over normal so it's not overheating either.

I'm going to call the MINI dealer this morning and possibly get it booked in to check out. In the meantime I'll get some coolant from the dealer and fill it up.
