Hi - I've just sold my 2009 E350CDI (LHD) to a chap who tells me that sometimes (but not always) there is a strong oil burning smell and smoke from the right hand side exhaust manifold. This happened after a few miles form my house, so I went and found him, checked it and it didn't happen again. He was nervous about it so I followed him back nearly 150 miles down the M1 on his way home last night and it was fine, no problem. Apparently it's happened again after about 30 miles today.
There is no coolant on the oil or oil in the coolant. It's not in the valley of the V block so it's not the oil cooler.
I (any my local garage) thought at first that this might ne coming from the filler cap, and although there was a slight oil film around that, from the photos he has sent me today it looks dry.
Any ideas, anyone?
