v40 very smokey engine

Post by peterwillett »

my daughter has a v40 that has suddenly become very smokey (from exaust) it would appear to be burning oil. There is no noticeable loss of power, and the engine still runs smooth. No indication of oil in turbo hoses. My local engineer is baffled also, his only suggetion at present is blocked crancase breather. I am not convinced as smoke is very bad and immediatly after starting. Any ideas?
