following the droplets of oil on floor, lookt in the engine bay.

 

there is quite a bit of oil in there, splash over the battery etc.

 

dipstick was out half an inch also.

 

this too much pressure? sounds bad.

 

car smokes a bit on high revs, but asume thats the turbo seals..

 

views please?

Sounds like you need to do an engine compression test.This is the classic signs of piston/ring failure.

This happened to me, but more instant, the dipstick being pushed out and oil around the battery indicates that compression is getting past the piston and into the crank, pressurising your sump, the easiest place to vent this build up of pressure is by pushing the dipstick out followed by some oil, it could be your piston rings or a hole in a piston. I would suggest having the compression checked, the bad news is it wont be easy or cheap to fix. HTH

just beat me to it Jimmer.:headvswal

great :(

 

how much we talkin?

engine out job isnt it?

 

tbh iv noticed the car smoking at high revs, but asumes weak turbo seals.

 

whats the casue of this then?

if rings are gone then oil can get past and get burned off in your zaust ,worn turbo seals tend to smoke at idle

Have a chat with Jimmer (he is in Bristol, not too far from you) he and Daz do a 5 star engine rebuild, at a very competitve rate. :eek:

I may be completely off the mark with this, but didn't I read somewhere that if your PCV valves get stuck in the closed position, this can also blow the dipstick out? Might be worth looking at if the alternative is an engine rebuild!

bluddy hell someone elabarat on this more lol

looks a bit worse than i thaught :(

 

got underneath, its everywhere! all on the chasis etc, goes back half way ov the car!

 

only on the passanger side tho. ive wiped the oil off.

 

see if the dipstick pops out again.

 

 

i hope theres a broken oil feed pipe or something???

more update lol

 

:)

 

had mechanic onit, there was no backpressure or something, so wouldnt push the thing out.

 

think i just left it out last time checkt oil :headvswal

 

cleaned the oil up, put the dipstick back in, it seems fine now. gave it a hard bit of driving also to make sure :)
