I have a 53 plate clio 1.4 dynamique petrol with 80k on the clock. I have a slow oil leak and this may or may not be connected to current fault. Engine starts fine but is misfiring and the whole car seems to be shaking. The orange engine warning light flashes after a while but no other lights come on. Initially it was smoking badly from the exhaust dark blue but now it seems to white smoke that puffs out as it misfires. Not sure how driveable it is to get it to a garage. Any help appreciated

Ok first post so welcome..where is the oil leak coming from..

Have you already tried anything to correct the problem..

Blue smoke might show oil is being burnt and there could be a number of reasons for that..valve seals..piston rings/worn bores..

White smoke could be a sign of head gasket failure..I would get a compression test before thinking of anything else and go from there..

Juddering will probably be the ign coils its a common problem ..

Currently in Phil48's garage:
Dacia Sandero stepway 0.9 tce Ambiance hatchback..
