Why is my Mini Cooper radiator leaking coolant in Pakistan?

I noticed puddles of coolant under my Mini Cooper while parked, especially during hot weather in Lahore. Could this be caused by corrosion, cracks, o r faulty hoses? What are the most common radiator leak causes for Mini Coopers in Pakistan, and how urgent is it to fix?

Radiator leaks are a common issue in Mini Coopers, and in Pakistan, local conditions can accelerate the problem. Common causes include:

Corrosion o r rust: High temperatures and occasional low-quality coolant can cause the radiator metal to corrode.

Cracks in the radiator: Heat cycles and vibrations from rough roads common in Pakistan can create cracks.

Faulty hoses o r clamps: Rubber hoses can degrade due to heat, dust, and poor-quality coolant.

Loose connections: Hose clamps o r radiator fittings may loosen over time, causing minor leaks.

Solutions & Prevention:

Inspect the radiator and hoses for visible leaks, cracks, o r corrosion.

Replace old o r brittle hoses and worn clamps.

Use high-quality, BMW/Mini-approved coolant.

Check coolant levels regularly and refill as needed to avoid overheating.
