Car Forum / MINI / February 2005Leaky Heater Problems
Hi I have a leaky heater on my Mini. Managed to get hold of another one and this one seams to leak in the same place. There's a two part piece of plastic joined to the matrix and this seems to be the area that it is leaking from. Does anyone have a fix for this leak? I should imagine that silicone won't be up to the task Is there anything else I can put in there to seal these two parts up that would take the heat? -- Cheers Chris Do you mean it is leaking at the side where the plastic pipes emerge? If so these can be removed (at least on the one I had leaking) there were 4 or 5 small hex eaded screws. You should find an O ring that can be replaced. > Hi > I have a leaky heater on my Mini.

There is a BS for O rings that covers almost every size imaginable and they are used a lot on hydraulics.

Right, I had just this problem and actually picked up an o-ring assortment pack for a few dollars. This gave me a couple o-rings that worked perfectly and fixed the leak.
