1988 90 with the original 2.5 engine around 110k miles...
whilst driving along today there was a clonk from under the bonnet and clouds of blueish smoke came blooming into the cabin.
Lifting the bonnet revealed the oil filler cap completely off and oil everywhere! I replaced the cap and continued to drive, the engine now really lumpy... As soon as I gave it any revs it was off again. I ended up being towed home by the missus ( the shame of it )
I'm a complete novice when it comes to engines but am keen to learn and I'd like to fix this myself if at all possible.
Your thoughts as to the problem would be welcomed.
