When my AOS went, I had lots of oil and smoke. It ran awful. It failed in my neighborhood and ingested so much oil that it fried my cats. I’d check that first. See if you can remove the oil cap with the motor on, but try not to run it much. Let me know how that goes, happy to help.

Another thing to add, my brand new AOS failed after about two months so if it’s relatively new I’d still be curious about it.
What’s the car and mileage?
