Not good, sounds like its the head gasket, check for oil in the coolant,

What engine?

8 litres??? Jesus how was the thing running at all? Of course Im assuming that it was actually running before you drained the oil. It does sound bad alright. It might be repairable though but one way or another its engine rebuild time, or at least the head has to come off.

sorry if this sounds daft, but are you sure you let the oil out not the water?? 8litres is about twice as much as should fit in there??

Well if he said water came out, then oil then I would say it was in the crankcase. 8 litres does sound like a lot.

maybe someone topped the water in the wrong filler!!!

Very unusual for the wbx to get water in the oil, but f you have been running it like that then its will be fubared.....
