Really hope someone can help... first time poster!
I have a 52 fist stilo 1.2 16v
A few weeks ago when I had my hot air on in the car, I was getting a strong smell of oil. When I checked, the dip stick had shot up and there was oil all over the engine bay. I cleaned it up and it has been fine since. I suspected it was the breather pipe but didn't get round to taking a look and the problem didn't happen again with the dipstick.
The last week or so, there has been a "ticking" sound coming from the engine so I topped the oil up on Thursday night and it was running great yesterday. This morning though I felt the car juddering a little, just didn't seem to be driving right. Then about 10 minutes later the car lost a lot of power, (engine was chugging and sounding like a small tractor) and when I have checked the dipstick, you had to pull to get it out, a bit of oil shot out and the oil on the dipstick has turned like a creamy colour.
I guess I am looking for some ideas on what it might be and how much it is going to cost me!!
