Hello,
I am a novice with car issues and need someone to help point me in the right direction. My Landrover free lander 2 has a few issues that might be related but not sure what the cause could be.
When I start my car I am getting white smoke on start up only and juddering, idling mostly noticeable prior to driving for a while then settles down and only slightly idles.
There is also oil making its way into the airflow pipe and leaking out where circled in the image below.
I opened the cap in the image below and noticed it had oil and also no filter if one should be there? just a rubber inside cap and spring.
So these are the questions I have as I don't want to take it to a garage and get ripped off with out checking out the smaller issues that could be a root cause.
Any help you fantastic people can give me would be very much appreciated!!
Thanks
Sam

- Is this related to needing a oil change
- An oil filter change
- Could this be the cause of the juddering and white smoke

Any help you fantastic people can give me would be very much appreciated!!
