sounds like its coming from the breather pipe from thd engine ! is oil level correct ? remove the pipe and clean it ! do you do a lot of short journys ? it is normal to get a little ! ! ???
There is too much oil in the engine or the oil control rings are worn and sending oil out of the breather into the airbox. Check your oil level and correct as necessary.
It is quite normal to have a small amount of oil in the airbox, however exsess oil in the airbox will find its way into the engine and burn hence smoke, remove the engine breather pipe from the engine to airbox and clean then replace, exsess crankcase pressure is caused by pressure leaking past the piston or rings, during detanation, dismantling of the top end of the engine is required for inspection, poss new piston and rebore.
hi i have a 2001 1.6 zetec ford focus. the engine managment light is on and my car has bee leaking oil into the airbox on the floor and onto the gearbox coming from the rocker cover breather hose ( i have changed the camshaft breather hose and valve ) any suggestions ?
Usually on any car it is located between the airbox where your air filter is hidden and the engine itself. It can be either on the hose connecting the airbox to the engine, inline with it if you prefer, or it can be bolted directly on the back of the airbox. So best bet would be to take out the airbox from under the hood to see clearly, and you probably will have the sensor in hand anyway when you take out the airbox.
