Hello, I have a 2010 Mini Cooper S and my car has at times left oil puddles towards front center on the garage floor. Also, every time I stop at a light or car is idle, there is smoke that comes out of the front part of the bonnet. As I continue to drive the smoke remains evident. I put on the AC to see if this helps. At times I think it does. My car only has 60k. I'm worried about driving it this way that it could cause something major like a fire etc..

What would you suggest is the problem?? Hoping you can help...thanks in advance...

Could be a turbocharger oil line or gasket on the engine. hard to say without seeing it. I would lift the vehicle and support it safely. Then inspect the engine for the source of the leak.
