There is a hose going from the engine compartment to the air filter. This air filter is passing this smoke to the carb, When I opened I found a load of oil remaining and slug in the carb. Shall I use carb cleaner into the air in --> to the carb? If yes then shall I block the pipe that is going to the air filter from the engine? It is continuos smoke coming to the carb.

Please help!:confused:

Car is : Mercedes Benz 1983 200 carb, automatic trans

You do not say what car you have. If oil is comming out of the breather it means that you have crankcase compression, that is broken ring or something wrong with the bores.

I would take all of the breather pipe off and wash it out, you can fail the test if you block it up. I have known people to modify the oil cap to relieve the crankcase compression.
