My Father has a 2002 52 plate 320d on 44k. Around 6 weeks ago, the car began to smoke and burn oil. Turbo failure was ultimately diagnosed and the turbo was duly replaced. EGR valve, etc, was cleaned, exhaust system thoroughly cleaned. Anyway, the smoking continued after the period in which the residue of the engine oil would normally have been burned off. The smoke is white. When left to idle under some load oil is depsoited on the road from the exhaust. The oil level is gradually declining at a slow rate. The car however is running very well and there is no loss of pressure. Current thinking at the garage is that there is a problem with the head or the block more generally. It looks like the engine is generating 2-3 times the pressure that it should and is forcing oil through the system. It is recommended that a pressure test on the block be carried out. Any thoughts or advice would be most welcome.

Regards,

Anthony
