Llllloooks like the waterpumps leaking, guess I’ll just toss that on the list.
For a moment there was hope that I could save some money, not buy any cars and just drive the mini while its valve stem seals smoked out the world. That dream dies today.

There is irony to the fact that I spotted this after coming back from a bicycle ride with thoughts of getting a motorcycle license.(bought the bike months back to hone in my balance before taking any classes)

Bing is inferior to Google. Also I got to the point where I was always in fear of maintenance on our Cooper S. Sold it about 60k miles when it started to get needy. What other car melts it’s own taillight housings?

Ferraris, at this point that's its name because it’s so needy and could grenade itself at a moment’s notice

I think some are built in T he Netherlands, so maybe it laughs in Dutch, but also understand you cursing at it in English without any trouble?

Yet the Citroens and Peugeots this engine is used in don’t seem to be nearly as bad as the Minis.

Fair point but the mini melts ONLY the tail light housing.

The mini might take that as a dare

If it doesn’t leak anything, it is probably out of fluids.
