Stuck some oil in the car before I went out and got about 5 mins away from home and thought fook me it stinks of oil. Stopped at side of road had a look under bonnet and tieres no oil cap and oil all over my nice white engine bay. Had to go for a nice walk to find it then back home for more oil. Gonna take me ages to clear it up

oh dear, I had a Corsa hire car earlier in the year and at some traffic lights i noticed some smoke coming from the grill. Opened the bonnet and the twats had left the oil cap off, most probably when they serviced it. Glad I didnt have to clear up the mess.

i did this, i filled up with oil and drove down the road, got about a mile and stopped at a traffic light and there was smoke on front of my car, i was telling my mate "shit that car in front is smoking alot" he kindly reminded me it was my car.
got out and engine bay covered, whipped socks and t-shirt off and cleaned it all up with them. bit of gaffer tape over all cover and 1.8k rpm all the way home with not much oil in the car
