I think my engine has gone pop
Just eased off on the motorway and heard a knocking noise.
Oil pump has been changed so guessing crank has seized. Oil is leaking from under the car.

Commiserations, obviously I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

The vultures have been pre-flighted and are ready for takeoff.

Could be the crank seal (think that’s what it’s cslled) on front of engine blew out and lost all oil? If it’s still running and knocking but leaking oil..

Had a look underneath as it’s on the wagon and the oil leak on the car was from a previous one.
