Last few days I noticed the oil light coming on faint and now on constant. Check the oil today but dont seen to be showing any black on the stick. Put about a litre and half in and still same. Hav'nt noticed any lost and temp goes to 90 max

personally, if i were you. Drain the oil, replace the oil filter, get a new washer for the sump plug and pop 5litres down there if the problem doesnt go away, you know its leaking as its going somewhere...possilbiy coolant? ________________________________________ Team allesclar ® |

Put some oil in and light still on. Drove about 5000 feet and a huge bang followed by lots of smoke and oil everywhere in the bay. I turned it off straight away and it still runs but pumps out smoke. Looks like its popped thought the airfilter? |
