i was driving on the motorway tonight doing about 70mph , looking in the rear view mirror as you do, all of a sudden i cant see anything out of it, white smoke which i can only discribe as dense as a house fire pouring out my exhaust. let the gas off cars are trying to get through this big smoke cloud. manage to get off onto the hard shoulder, pop the bonnet up, but the head gasket hasnt blown as i expected. oil is just normal black. call a bloke i know who works for a recovery company, who comes to pick it up. he tells me to drive it up to the next junction cause its too dangerous to put on the vrs ( ramp ) in the dark with cars going that speed. anyway, as i do, the smoke gets less and less till eventually the isnt any. by the time we pull over its back to normal? on the way back with him following i notice the tappets are going like mad, which they never do. keep drivng and after about 10 minutes they go back to normal too? exhaust is still black with the oil, but the cars not smoking and is driving normally.
however tonight , i put some solution into the oil which is supposed to stop a oil leak. do you think this has caused the big oil dump or do you think its a engine problem, as i say the cars working 100% again as i drove it back.
what do you think?

no oil loss, ended up stop smoking on way home yesterday, did a oil chance today and still seems fine. just found out my dad put in 6 litres of this solution which stops oil leaks only to find he should have put in 3.5, so im hoping this was the reason.

probably this then oil pressure got high and through loads into the intake via breathers
