td4 engine has started to make all the wrong noises.wife was driving to work other day phoned me to tell me freelander had stoped ignition light and then the oil light had come on and had heard a ticking noise. Had dipped engine for oil that morning and oil level was correct. After vehicle had stopped asked wife to lift bonnet and dip for oil. She told me oil level was below minimum on dip stick. A passer by came to her assistance got oil and replaced oil to proper level. She started engine only to hear a ticking noise. Not good news. When i got home from work i discovered the engine block breather filter was blocked and the engine had pumped oil out through turbo. Noise seems to be coming from top end of engine. Drained oil out of sump, found no nasty bits or particles in drained oil. Removed rocker cover to see if any tappets or any loose parts in rocker gear. Nothing noticable. Has anyone experienced or shed any light on this symptom where engine has pumped oil out through turbo due to blocked breather?
