I posted this here because Y forum seems to be "dead".

Hope someone will be able to help me.. before my Lancia's (Y 1.2 '98) motor will be taken apart. The problem is there seems to be plenty of oil in my air filter (how is that possible??). The oil then leaks out of air filter on the hot engine and is smells horribly. Help, anyone !?

Check the crankcase breather system. It sounds like oil is being forced into the air cleaner from there. Also check the oil pressure regulator relief valve.
