Plan now is: tomorrow i will jack the car up again, and drain all oil out through a fine sieve, and see if I catch anything. Then i will take the oil filter out, cut it open and inspect thoroughly. Went out and got two new filters today after work. I did drive the car home from work. And it runs perfectly. Was it not for the oil i would not suspect a thing.

If there is metal particles in there (which i kind of doubt), well ****************..

1dl of the oil will be sent of to analysis. Will have the answer hopefully during next week.

Both engineers at work said it looked like some moisture in the oil, not metal. As marine engineers i guess they have seen a lot of this. Fingers crossed.

Cars stays in the garage for now until i know more.

Will update thread as situation progresses.

Thanks to everyone who has taken their time to reply so far!
