Oil Everywhere....

[crossover]

well guys i just got home and as i pulled into my street i noticed a loud tapping, so i pulled into my driveway, pop the bonnet and theres Oil all over the front of the block, smoke coming off the exhaust and splatter over the oil filter.

It spilled oil all over my driveway i filled it up with oil, and started it.. just spat oil out everwhere,

I did a service about 2 weeks ago, and also found i had low comp on cyl 4, of around 90,

Any ideas on what could have happened?

Have you checked the dipstick, if you have really low compression you are probably starting to pressurize the sump.
The pressure has to go somewhere. And check your oil filter to make sure it isn't starting to back-off.

i'd be checking your oil lines to and from your turbo

I changed the oil filter and all is good now, the seal on the old one seemed really loose.

Keep an eye on it just to be sure
