Looking for advice

Postby Iansm1972 » Sat Jun 02, 2018 8:22 am

Hi all

New to owning a van, just bought a 2011 ford transit Seb 2.2 diesel

I did all the usual checks before buying by checking the oil, brakes, steering and took on a test drive. Everything went well, mileage on the van only 37500 and did the whole vosa check. Bought the van and then drove it home (15miles) when I got home loads and loads of white smoke from the exhaust , even coming through the oil dip stick and oil filler cap

Can anyone give me advice, I am not a mechanic and now totally stressing after spending £5500

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Ian

Hi aba

I have moved it this morning and can see that there is oil coming out of the exhaust. The water level hasn’t moved

I am totally lost now
