Serviced the golf on Wednesday after it completing its running in miles.

Had it out the othe rnight with a mate and heard a knock then smoke went everywhere, came through the vents an that.. Turned the car off straight away and pulled in to watch this happen...







Looks like I hadn't tightened the sump plug enough although I can remember doing it.. new sump plug and washer will be getting bought this week just to be safe...

After searching the road we got it jacked up and got a mate to bring me oil... Lesson learned..

The cars fine, it lost all the oil once I'd pulled over, wouldve been a max of a litre of oil out it before I got it turned off..

I'd guess that if he was driving, the oil managed to flick up onto the exhaust?
