sump gasket i think
the oil drips onto the exhaust and you get smoke coming from the underside of the car while driving alone due to oil on downpipe! (only at high revs aka booting it)
i surguested the oil pressure could be over pressureising due to the oil releif not working correctly and blowing the gasket
so he has replaced the oil pump and still has the same problem so i gather

the oil pump and relief valve is the last step mate.
was just getting an idea of what i can do if this last bit dont go to plan.
maybe XE time.
