oil light came on today, first off i thought how as iv'e got plent of oil.
pulled up

no oil at all showing on stick, but it had 7ltr before xmas,

i did have this prob a bit before so added the oil i had left around 3ltr then drove it all of a sudden checked again and there was way too much oil so drained the oil i put in, so now it's realy doing my head in, were could the oil go, turbo's fine i it got rekon'd not long back, seen the odd puff of smoke though now and again

anyone got any ideas.....

also just noticed today that if i go round bends the engine sqeakes,got hold of engine on pulled and pushed and it sqeakes, also does it if i close the boot of shake car.. was going to get a dump valve or a indution kit but i imagine the two probs are goin to be ££££££££

Thats a hell of a lot of oil to lose in such a short time, surely you've got a leak. Hope no damage has been done to the engine.

The warning comes on when the dipstick is at min, the difference between min-max is only 1 litre. Top it up a bit at a time but you gotta let it get to the sump. To much oil is just as bad as not enough.
