Oil Spattered and Smoke from Engine (i40)

Featured Replies

Hi guys,

On a bit of a punt here...

My i40 had smoke coming from the engine bay. Opened it to see oil spattered everywhere.

The engine is smoking from somewhere on start up. More when accelerating. Emanating from somewhere to the right of and further down than the filler cap.

Also, it looks like a significant amount of oil is leaking underneath.

The car is very noisy - rattling, which increases with acceleration.

Any ideas on what could be going on?

I've posted a few pics.

Any pointers gratefully received.

Joe.

Once you get it all cleaned up there will be more chance of knowing.

I googled Hyundai i40 to see what was the main issues with them.

Look like there can be many.

Sorry i am no help.

No definite ideas, but I'd start by cleaning the oil splashes, and checking rocker and (if applicable) can chain cover bolts are all tight.
