 Gearbox oil leak!! Was a bit miffed to find my 2.5 week old MCS had developed an oil leak. I couldn't tell where it was leaking from as I couldn't get underneath to have a good look so took a trip to the local dealers. I had a proper look when it was up on the ramps, the driveshaft on the rhs (long one) has moved about 1" out from the diff!!! The seal behind the driveshaft was now starting to weep hence the oil leak. Will be getting a new driveshaft assy and seal fitted on Thursday. Apart from that and a few rattles/squeaks the car is mega so far  , just hope this isn't the start of things to come.D.  |

| Great. Just got a call from the dealers telling me after stripping out the driveshaft and reaching for the new one they realised it was a Cooper one, not a Cooper S one. The correct part won't be in for 7 days. Has anyone else suffered from this kind of incompetence? D. |
