►Oil needs to remain on the inside of the engine to do its job efficiently. Any leak reduces the oil level and can allow foreign contaminants to enter, neither of which is remotely good for engine health. An oil leak around the oil pan is one of the most critical places it can occur, with literally all of the oil passing by it as the engine runs. Removing the pan to fix the leak is your only option.
Removing the oil pan to apply a new bead of sealant is a relatively easy job on an R56 MINI. Only an exhaust pipe must be removed before there's complete access to the oil pan. From there, you'll need to remove a few bolts. However, ensure the oil pan is clean before applying a new bead of sealant; failing to do so will likely cause another leak to form quickly.
In this video, Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro's Professional DIYer, reseals the oil pan on an R56 MINI Cooper.
