Consumer Description

2008 MINI COOPER - MY TEMP LIGHT CAME ON/YELLOW AND THINKING JUST LOW AND ADDED MORE COOLANT. BUT IT KEEP GIVING ME THE LIGHT SIGNAL. I DIDN'T SEE ANY HOLE OR IS NOT DRIPPING ANY COOLANT. ON 01/06/12 I CALLED MINI COOPER OF LOVELAND COLORADO TO TAKE MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE MY TEMPERATURE LIGHT CAME ON TO YELLOW AND THEN RED. I WAS TOLD BY THE MINI COOPER DEALERSHIP, I HAVE A HOLE IN MY COOLANT PIPE AND NO ONE KNOWS WHY. SO, ON THE WAY HOME, MY CAR STARTING TO SMOKE BAD AND MY CAR STOPPED RUNNING. IT OVER HEATED. THE LAST PEOPLE TOUCHED MY CAR WAS 6 MONTHS AGO TO GET MY OIL CHANGED FROM THE MINI COOPER DEALERSHIP. WHAT'S WEIRD ABOUT IT, HOW AND WHY DID I GET A HOLE AND WHY MY CAR OVER HEATED? PLEASE I NEED HELP WITH THIS BECAUSE NOW, IT'S COSTING ME OVER 2500 TO GET MY PROBLEM FIX.
