Unhappy 500E problems

hi.

I have a 1992 500E with 75,000km and lately I have noticed some Engine Oil odour and the exhaust is filled with black powdery material.the Engine Oil pressure guage shows normal when driving (3) and drops to just below (2) when idle or neutral,the engine Oil lamp in the instrument panel goes out after starting.

I have changed spark plugs and fuel filter also,I hate to discover its a Oil consumption (burning) issue

I would be happy for any proffesional feedback on this issue.

thanks

do you still get black smoke after the spark plug change? i would suggest some aggressive driving to clean out any carbon deposits. the oil smell is probably something else completely as it would not cause a black powdery residue. it could be any number of things but i would suspect an oil leak somewhere. are there any oil spots on the ground?

you may want to post this on the main tech forum to get more responses from the techs.
