Update/Plea for help:
Ladysteve told me that the car was running out of oil to the point where the oil light comes on. Seeing the car idle'in on the drive I noticed a trail of black on the floor behind. The car is spitting it out the exhaust when warm.
DiahatsuDrivers said these engines have a problem with the piston oil rings can gunk up from poor oil/lack of servicing. So we tried swapping oil out then a week later doing another swap using some engine flush too. This got a few chucks out but it still seems to be spitting.
Noticed as well that the throttle body is very oily, cleaned it out the first time we did oil change and a week later it was coated in oil again.
Could the oily throttle body be hinting towards something?
