Right, ever since iv had my car (5 months), its had a bit of a mucky engine bay, and had used a bit of oil. but coming back from london, stopped off at services, and there is/was oil all over the grill, and up the inside of the bonnet. and there`s very little oil in the actual engine. :( Car still runs, and drives fine, no smoke, etc. Any one got an idea what it could be? Spoke to someone today, he says could be the "breather pipe" blocked, causing the oil to come out the dip stick etc. And to change the oil and check the pipe for blockages.

ant help very much appreciated
matt

obviously i have put some more oil in!
