engine problems!!!!

Guest
i was driving down the M4 last night and i noticed a strong burning smell and alot of smoke, at first i thought this was my turbo so when i got home i had a closer inspection, most of the oil had exploided over the engine bay and leaking on the floor from what appears to be the breather pipe?

on tick over alot of air is coming out of the breather pipe and when blocked up clouds of white smoke come from the exhaust.

can anyone help?

Ive had exaclty the same thing! im running a oil catch tank system to breath the oil and it had froozen completely causing pressure to build up in the crankcase causing it to get out where ever it could!

Ive not fixed it completely yet, but on days around -3Deg C or less it does it, and i wouldnt drive the car as i think it could do alot of damage!
The white/blue smoke is the oil i think getting pushed out into either cylinders or turbo due to pressure!

Going to revert to original breather system tomorrow hopefully for now, as there is no sign of this cold weather lifting!

Check your oil also, my light came on today, so its in the garage until its sorted out properly!
