Oil leaking from Exhaust between Cat & DPF |
|
I have been having the dreaded smoke under hard acceleration after driving steady on my Disco 4 13 plate SDV6. It runs fine no loss of power and does not always happen. Normally when I have been driving steadily for a while. Happens generally when accelerate hard, big ploom of smoke out the back it clears and then seem ok for a while. I assumed it was the secondary turbo oil drain pipe which I know Land Rover have issued a technical notice. However I have had it up on the lift today and there is quite a bit of oil leaking from the exhaust at the joint between the Cat & DPF. Looks clean around the Turbo no signs of a leak. It has been using oil about a litre every 3000 miles. Any advise what it might be. Thanks in advance.

Ok thanks, just concerned as it was quite a bit of oil coming out of joint, looked like it had been coming out at pressure as well as it was sprayed all around. I will get oil drain pipe changed and keep it monitored. Thanks
