Default

the dip stick might be correct but the oil pump might not be working.

the 2 seconds part could be the shut off valve is a little off. and the smoke could be related to the engine not getting oil.

if the engine is running and there is oil circulating the crankcase, then opening the oil plug will cause the oil to literally splash out. If none, then there is probably none circulating.


This sounds like a problem that should be found and fixed quick. It is relatively hard to ruin a 190D engine but oil starvation is a relatively quick way.
