The Oil level was on the full marking, I have a 10 ltr oil pan fitted with an Ipsco smup baffle system.

The AA auto assist guy drained 1 Ltr of oil from the engine as he thought it was likley to be an oil surge problem. We let the car run for a while and after 10 mins the oil cleared from the exhaust system. Have to say it scared the life out of me as when I tried to move the car across the road into a hotel car park the engine would not crank! I thought I had thrown a rod or something, but it was all dry around and under the engine and the starting was due to a weak battery, so now I need one of those.

Car ran OK all the way home a couple of days later with no issues what so ever!

I assume you have a brake bias issue. What year is your car?

Thanks for sharing the video...what a cool experience.

Think we found the problem, oil is being sucked up the PCV Valve under Vacuum then going into Intake manifold. Air oil separator needed ;)
