I check under the hood so often the hood handle broke
always at home, same spot and when cold so I have baseline of all fluid levels and can take visuals on everything else.
To note I am extremely happy to have a dipstick for the oil and check it often.
Neighbor has a newer mini and after a service at dealer was leaking a lot of oil on garage floor. I let them know it was leaking and told them I would check the oil, pop the hood to look for the dipstick, and there was none to be found
I actually had to Google how to check the oil on a mini Cooper using the central display screen….
It was a sad day for me.
