1996 1.8 Oil Over fill - problem - Petro Head Steve
Recently I have had sever thick white smoke out of my exhaust (like a Gary Numan concert) ! ! - After some consideration I realised I'd over filled my oil by about 1.5 Quarts.
which caused much pressure in the crank forcing oil up and past the pistern rings, I've drained and change oil to fix this fault the engine appers to run just fine again.
