Still revving the engine his other mate said there is oil is trickling out of the tailpipes! And it was! The engine management warning came on stating excessive emissions. Head gasket or oil cooler?
Okay first off your 30d doesn't have a throttle body. I'm not sure what a water reservoir is. You really need to give us more information then this if you want help. What codes do you have? Pictures of where you see oil. What color was the smoke?
