My next door neighbor owns both the new Mini Sports Coupe/Cooper, and an original Mini. The new one worked absolutely flawlessly until she took it in for a complete oil change and general tune-up. Bad idea. Now the thing is -always- dripping. Its even worse then the original one she has just as collector car or so she says.
