Freelander 2 2009 smoke from bonnet

Stistus · Mar 4, 2019

Hi guys.

I was driving a 10 min ytes ride to a friend yesterday.
When i pulled over to check why my underseat sub was not woofing, at the same time i saw some smoke comming from the nonner. First i checket the Oil, it deemed ok, but the stick was twisted, is that normal.? I also checked the coolant level. Hard to see but it was plenty there.
But the smoke seemed to Come from a silicone hode, from bakside on the left of the engine, it also very greasy. Anyone with some clues?

The smoke will be from oil getting on to the engine through the intercooler/turbo duct take it apart and check that joint, yes the dip stick is correct to be twisted

mine drips oil from that pipe,has since I bought it ,but I don't know why.

I just take pipes apart and clean oil out ,also check bottom of gearbox,that`s where the excess oil seems to run to.
I also drilled a hole in the bowl at bottom of turbo pipe to let the oil run out and screwed in a self tapper to block the hole.

Seem to be a common fault. Thanks for the tip
