Drove my car back from my mates today (about 7 miles) and quite enjoyed it......
However, upon looking underneath the car it would seem we didn't quite fit the sump gasket properly, bit of an oil leak........bugger!.......sump off again I thought.......but not today!.....so I took it to my garage...(about a mile), parked up outside the garage door and....................smoke!...........lots of smoke!!!!
I thought quick, wheres my phone camera, this is going to wind up on you tube!
Turns out the turbo oil supply pipe had decided it wanted to split and had shot oil everywhere.....Brilliant!
Anyhow, I've got a spare pipe, so that can go on when we do the sump (again!......)
What I want to ask about is, when everthing was ok and not leaking,at idle , there was this really weird low pitched gurgling type of noise coming from somewhere near or maybe in, the air filter area..........anybody have any ideas?...........If I take the plastic filter that pops into the pipe that goes into the sump off it is louder, as if the sound is travelling down the pipe........but the noise is deffo starting from the air box side of the engine.....only on idle, blip the throttle and it stops.......annoying as hell, especially whith all the other failures.........
Does it ever end?......
Does anyone have an idea as to what could be the cause?
Thanks in advance...............again!
