Hi everyone, i am posting this for a friend who has an S60 D5, he was driving home yesterday and a loud knocking sound started coming from the engine, sounds somewhere near the top, he noticed a slight loss of power on acceleration so limped it home carefully. When you take the oil filler cap off or take the dipstick out while it is idling its like a steam train with the amount of smoke that comes out, any ideas what this might be

Oh dear that doesn't sound good!, could be a few things but with the amount of crap coming out of the dipstick it could be head gaskette. Has he checked the water and the oil?, was there anything in any of them?.
