Hi everyone! I recently bought a classic Mini with an SPI engine. I took it on a short road trip last weekend and started noticing a few small oil leaks. There seems to be oil collecting around both the front and rear of the car, and I also notice a small trail of oil when driving in 1st gear or reversing.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any ideas on what I should check first?

I’m also getting quite a strong petrol smell from the fuel tank area. I’ve checked the breather pipes and they all seem to be in good condition, but I’m wondering if there are any other common causes I should look into.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
