1986 998 auto mini LHD Hello, My mini has develop a large oil leak coming from the driver side (left hand side), after driving for a bit it starts to leak right away. I think it might be the drive shaft seal but when lifting the mini up, the driveshaft looked quite clean. Is there any other area around that side the may leak oil? Thanks Attachments:

Powerwash it good and clean and then get around with a piece of toilet paper on your fingers to see where it actually starts. That is the side that the oil filter and adapter run down to, as well as the valve cover. Just run your hand with the paper on it, starting at the top anywhere oil could be.

Oil leak is fixed. Crankshaft breather wasn't connected to the carb, I put it back on,took it for a test drive and now the mini is leak free.
