I noticed this the other day and it seems to be leaking fluid from somewhere near the front right wheel? I noticed the patch earlier today and thought it may be brake fluid but cant find where its leaking from.

On a furrther note. Has anybody ever used this before, and is it any good? http://www.halfords....55221&langId=-1

Being a mini, it is probably oil, have you checked around the sump plug? That is the closest thing in that area that would leak it!

What makes you want to use a petrol additive?

clutch slave cylinder
being an injection mini you won't need the addative

I used the Redex Injector cleaner in my spi, i didnt notice any difference but i suppose it's to prevent anything going wrong.

ill have look tomorrow, but to be honest ive only had a feel around the wheel...
and one of my work mates suggested it to me ( i work in aviation so i kind of trust him about engines) but thought id look on here first...

injector cleaner cleans injectors, (well it says it does)

Clutch fluid, I'd suggest looking at the slave cylinder.

i would highly recommend forte treatments as we use them at work and they have cured noises, rough running, intermittent cut-outs's, emission's lights and engine management lights. they have different treatments for different things:
and an injector treatment (flush) is a must have!! think of your injector and how small the hole it that delivers the fuel , it can be smaller that a human hair!! and if a little bit of "crud" where to block or reduce flow, it would reduce engine economy and reduce engine performance! if you buy the "gas flush" which is compatible with your mini it can Reduce exhaust emissions, Remove injector pintle deposits to restore fuel flow, Improve fuel economy and overall engine performance, Neutralise acids and dissolve lacquers from the fuel system.

just for an example we had a bmw come in work that had a running fault and he had been to a bmw specialist and they quoted him for a new DPF filter £500 +vat +labour and he came to us just to get a second opinion, anyway we tried out a "DPF flush" ran it for bit and gave it a blast down the road and when it came back it was FIXED!! just with a £10 flush

injector flush------ click
petrol flush------- click

If it is from the clutch or brakes you can expect a noticeable drop in the fluid reservoir.

[eden7842]

Has that dropped there while parkd where it is? Or was the car parked central?

[Ado1379]

Im off up to look at it now. My brakes havnt been affected i dont think so im sure its not them. Ill look at the slave cylinder. And the reservoir does seem to have gone down a bit. Ill let you know what i find thanks guys
