Engine Oil Leak
MODEL
R55 (Cooper Clubman and Cooper S Clubman) with N16 and N18 engine
R56 (Cooper and Cooper S) with N16 and N18 engine
R57 (Cooper and Cooper S Convertible) with N16 and N18 engine
R58 (Cooper Coupe and Cooper S Coupe) with N16 and N18 engine
R59 (Cooper Roadster and Cooper S Roadster) with N16 and N18 engine
R60 (Cooper Countryman and Cooper S Countryman) with N16 and N18 engine
SITUATION
The customer states that a small engine oil leak can be seen from the underside of the engine.
CAUSE
The internal sealing of the oil pump volume control solenoid valve is compromised, allowing engine oil to leak from
the oil pump volume control solenoid.
PROCEDURE
Below is the procedure for identifying how far the engine oil has migrated inside the engine electrical harness, if at all.
The procedure must be followed very carefully so that the proper repair is identified.
1. Disconnect the oil pump volume control solenoid valve electrical connection per Repair Instructions 11 41 519
“Removing and installing or replacing the solenoid valve (engine oil pump).”
Inspect the electrical connector; if no engine oil is found inside the electrical connector, replace the oil pump
volume control solenoid valve only. See Repair Instructions 11 41 519. If engine oil is found inside the electrical
connector, proceed to step 2.
2. Remove the cover from the DME and remove all three electrical connectors from the DME. Inspect the
connectors for traces of engine oil. If no engine oil is found, replace the oil pump volume control solenoid valve
and the engine section of wire harness. Refer to EPC for the additional part number.
If engine oil is found in the DME connector, proceed to step 3.
3. If engine oil is found in the DME electrical connector, replace the oil pump volume control solenoid valve, the
engine section of the wire harness and the DME. Refer to EPC for the additional part numbers.

4.
The replacement engine oil pan gasket available via EPC (P/N 11 13 7 565 928) should no longer be used
when resealing the engine oil pan. A substitute flexible liquid sealing material, P/N 83 19 0 404 517 Loctite
5970, should be used.
Before reinstalling the engine oil pan, it must be cleaned of all adhesive residues. Apply Loctite 5970 (P/N
83 19 0 404 517) to the sealing surface of the engine oil pan. The bead of the flexible liquid sealer should be
approximately 2mm-2.5mm in height when applied. The sealing material should be applied to the engine oil pan
on the inboard side of the drilled fastener holes. Refer to the illustration below for proper flexible liquid sealer
location. For proper tightening torque and vehicle reassembly procedures, refer to Repair Instruction 11 13 000,
“Removing and installing engine oil pan.”
Note: If the ISTA system message displays: “Battery voltage only “XX.XX” V. Please connect charger,” connect
an approved charger and note the displayed battery voltage reading in the repair order comments section.

Produced to 1/2013
SITUATION
The customer states that a small engine oil leak can be seen from the underside of the engine.
CAUSE
The internal sealing of the oil pump volume control solenoid valve is compromised, allowing
engine oil to leak from the oil pump volume control solenoid.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
Below is the procedure for identifying how far the engine oil has migrated inside the engine
electrical harness, when this issue occurs, if at all. The procedure must be followed very carefully
so that the proper repair is identified.
1. Disconnect the oil pump volume control solenoid valve electrical connection per Repair
Instructions 11 41 519 “Removing and installing or replacing the solenoid valve (engine oil
pump).”
Inspect the electrical connector; if no engine oil is found inside the electrical connector,
perform the oil pump volume control valve repair procedure. If engine oil is found inside the
electrical connector, proceed to diagnostic procedure step 2.
2. Remove the cover from the DME and remove all three electrical connectors from the DME.
Inspect the connectors for traces of engine oil. If no engine oil is found, perform the oil pump
volume control valve repair procedure and replace the engine section of the wire harness.
Refer to EPC for the additional part number.

Page 2 of 8
If engine oil is found in the DME connector, proceed to step 3.
3. If engine oil is found in the DME electrical connector, perform the oil pump volume control
valve repair procedure, replace the engine section of the wire harness and replace the DME.
Refer to EPC for the additional part numbers.
Do not remove the engine oil pan.
Do not replace the oil pump volume control valve.
Do not replace engine oil pump.
OIL PUMP VOLUME CONTROL VALVE REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Locate and remove the Torx
screw holding the cover plate
(1).
Remove Cover Plate (2)
Disconnect electrical connector

2. Push the electrical cable (1) in
the direction of the arrow.
3. Remove the sealing ring and
discard.

6. Install the tool above the plastic
housing.
7. Begin to push inward feeding
the harness along with the tool
into the crankcase.
The tool will help direct the
harness to the proper location
inside the crankcase.
Example:
Cut away illustration of harness being
pushed into the engine crankcase.

8. Remove the tool from the
crankcase and push the plastic
housing into the hole until a
click is heard.
9. Use the tool to hold the locking
plate from rotating while
tightening.
Tighten the center screw to 4nm.
The retrofit is now complete.
Connect the repair harness to the
engine electrical harness.
10. If the results of the diagnostic procedure identified that the engine harness or DME needs
replacement, then continue with those procedures to complete the needed repairs. If no
additional parts are required reassemble the vehicle.
Note: If the ISTA system message displays: “Battery voltage only “XX.XX” V. Please connect
charger,” connect an approved charger and note the displayed battery voltage reading in the repair
order comments section.
