#1: Ooops a daisy Author: Username, Location: NewportPosted: Sun Jun 26, 2011 1:34 pm ---- I topped my oil up at work today during my lunch & on my way home along the motorway the engine bay started smoking very badly.
Slowed down & pulled off at my jucntion & parked up. Opened up my bonnet & the smoke was over whelming.........I had only forgot to put the oil filler cap back on!
The oil had spewed everywhere over the engine.....but the filler cap was still there where I left it....bonus......comments welcome
