2. That the suspension fluid that was forced into the engine under pressure, mixed with the engine oil.
3. That this mixture is the cause of the oil burning (thinner).
I had EXACTLY the same theory on Belinda awhile back, but it was never proven. We did some suspension work (replaced a leaking self levelling strut and the accumulators), and when I was adding the hydraulic fluid afterwards, no matter how much I added it wouldn't go above the minimum line. Then I checked the oil level in the crankcase, and it was OVER full (and to my active imagination looked thinner). Started smoking more, but it was a white/grey smoke. Oddly enough, all we did was change the oil and it seemed to end. The back end lifts as it should, and all is well. I don't think we did any damage.

Tried crying, but didn't help. Let me know if it works for you.
