« on: 05 May 2010, 19:26:42 »
i have just had to stop because of smoke coming from under the bonnet. when i looked in there was a large pool of oil on the left side where the spark plugs are fitted on a 2.5 v6 petrol engine. does any one know why this would happen

Leaking cam cover gasket - probably caused by blocked breathers.
