help

has the title says i'm getting loads of oil smoke on idle fine driving , i checked the oil a few days ago and it was a bit low so topped up to the mark and checked it today and it is well past the low mark , also i have noticed that there is a lot of smoke coming out of the oil filler/dipstick tube is this normal ??
the car is a my99 with only 32k on the clock . any help before i take it the dealers for peace of mind.

cheers

Under the circumstances, nothing we say is going to give you MORE peace of mind than taking the car to the dealers ASAP!

You have a major problem me thinks,thats why i pulled along side of you at the lights to let you know how bad it was,the funny thing was Nick Adams thought it was my car. Hope you get it sorted but i imagine its going to be expensive,you have definately got unwanted sump pressure if its coming out of the dipstick.

Interesting - see my thread (just posted) in this section too... I'm getting a little bit of white smoke from the exhaust after long periods of idle (30mins+) but it clears after a couple of minutes of driving. Also I'm not losing oil. I'll be interested to hear what the dealer says (get it down there ASAP!).

SCOOBY 2000, FIRST THING YOU WANT TO BE CHECKING IS YOUR TURBO,BECAUSE YOUR TURBO IS OIL FEED, IF OIL IS BYPASSING INTO YOUR EXHAUST THIS WILL CAUSE SERIOUS SMOKE. E-MAIL ME IF YOU WANT MORE ADVICE ON HOW TO CHECK THIS. ANOTHER THING I WOULD'T HAVE THOUGHT YOUR ENGINE WAS KNACKERED NOT AT 30K UNLESS YOU CANE THE CAR WHEN IT IS COLD!!!!!
