What could it be?

A friend sent me this from his Sprinter owning friend and I wonder if anyone has any ideas of what the problem might be?

“Yes the sprinter has a problem at the moment. I went to Glen Innes a few weeks ago and it started making a noise. I took it to mechanics there and they said not to drive it. It seems that oil gushing out of the oil filler when the cap is removed is not a good sign."

A bit light on information. If you take the filler cap of when the engine is running the timing chain is just bellow and will throw oil out. Perhaps he should take it to someone who actually knows something. Eric

Eric - he's now taken it to a diesel repair shop who have 4 sprinters themselves. They are looking further into the problem. Should fix him up
