Is this a cause for concern?

Hi,

Take a look at the pictures below, is this normal? i.e. oil build up?

Out of interest, it has been using a fair bit of oil, but no other tell tail signs of any leakage anywhere, any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave

This was an issue mentioned on the totalmini website. The poster said that there is a fault with the turbo pipe to the rocker cover which caused an oil leak on the top of the engine. After reading the post I looked at my Nov.06 MCS and saw the same problem. So I took it to the dealer who replaced the pipe under warranty. Apparently it is a known problem and the pipe has been redesigned. I wondered at the time why there had not been more posts on this issue.
