Help... engine trouble?

[sno33]

Well this happened the other night....

i was going a bit hard pretty in the line for a pretty long time, untill i came 2 a stop and realised that i was leaking oil... i popped the bonnet and the first thing i saw was the dipstick had popped up a bit and there was oil over the engine bay. So much so that i had barely any left....

i was just wondering if anyone would know the cause of it or have any ideas since this has happened once before....

any input will be appreciated!!!

Boost pressure is leaking past the rings and pressurising the sump.

It can be caused by a nasty such as a cracked piston, but it could just be too much boost.

I'd get it to a mechanic who knows what he is doing and get a "leakdown" test.

healthy engines dont have pressure in the sump....start saving
