Driving along this morning, all of a sudden the car revs by itself, I press the clutch and a large plume of smoke comes out of exhaust. The car then dies and won't restart.

Any ideas?

Can't that be caused by too much oil in the engine or something?

It seems that an injector has been laeking diesel into the oil.

Oil level is thru the roof.

Injectors been sent off for pressure testing.
