Any suggestions what to check my 06 freelander 1 is smoking bad mainly black smoke which is occasionally blue to the point you can't see behind you and constantly surrounded by a cloud of smoke. Happens all the time not really worse under load or when cold etc. it's running rough and sounds rough sounds like it's missing and the car seems to judder when parked up. I wouldn't say it's lacking in power though maybe slightly in the lower gears. Any suggestions what to check or what your first thought would be?

Take a look at all the intercooler hoses, the EGR hose, you are looking for any tiny splits, press the hoses to see, also when was the last time you changed the PCV filter
EGR hose.
Top hose it can rub on the bolt.
Small hose also top.
PCV filter or crankcase filter as some call it.

If your oil has increased then you have coolant or diesel in it.

Being a TD4 you can almost guarantee the HP pump is leaking fuel into the engine.

Did you measure the oil with the engine at the same temperature?
A hot engine will expand the oil by up to 0.5L over a cold one depending on the capacity of the engine - I think if the engine's capacity is 7L cold, when hot it will expand to almost 7.5L

Hi
For turbo hoses, use your hands, if there is a split it is hidden, you will not see it. But you will have your hands full of oil
