The Oil level was on the full marking, I have a 10 ltr oil pan fitted with an Ipsco smup baffle system.

The AA auto assist guy drained 1 Ltr of oil from the engine as he thought it was likley to be an oil surge problem. We let the car run for a while and after 10 mins the oil cleared from the exhaust system. Have to say it scared the life out of me as when I tried to move the car across the road into a hotel car park the engine would not crank! I thought I had thrown a rod or something, but it was all dry around and under the engine and the starting was due to a weak battery, so now I need one of those.

Car ran OK all the way home a couple of days later with no issues what so ever!

I assume you have a brake bias issue. What year is your car?

Thanks for sharing the video...what a cool experience.

2000 Gts Toms 40mm brake upgrade, all calipers fully rebuilt with new seals and boots also running brake fluid recycle system using RBF600 Motul. The smoke is Oil not Tire rubber. No Lock up ;)

Think we found the problem, oil is being sucked up the PCV Valve under Vacuum then going into Intake manifold. Air oil separator needed ;)
