My friends K11 has a major oil leakage.
Said he was driving home yesterday when his car started to sound like a broken massey, so he pulled over, and noticed oil on the road, so he checked his dipstick. Nothing in the sump. He rolled it back down the hill to his house, filled it up with oil and that's that, too dark to do anything else.
I went round his this morning, just to give it a sneaky peak. No oil under the car on the floor, par a few drips from the night before. But it looked like oil had been sprayed all over the left hand side of the engine bay. All under the inlet manifold, around that bit of the engine bay.
So with neither of us being real mechanics, we decided, to start that car, and see what happens. Well, 5 seconds later, and 2 litres of oil pouring down his driveway, we turned off the engine. Ohh, and even though the oil was new, it was black, not gold. Engine sounded perfectly healthy though.
Anyone got any ideas what it is? Somethings leaking oil when it's under pressure, around the back left hand side of the engine if you look at it from the front.
