Nic Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) What colour is the smoke (bluish will be oil being burnt)? when does it smoke? ie. is the smoke constant or only seen at certain times?

simon197911 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Would say it white. It's not drive a bull it's smoking all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 White smoke? Usually anti freeze being burnt, or brake fluid. Oil smoke is grey / blue. Water vapour (steam) is white and will condense intantly on something cold to form water droplets, hold something cold and shiny behind the exhaust and see what happens. Now, are you sure there's not a communications problem here? Are you definitely saying it's oil inside the cylinder *WHEN YOU UNSCREW AND TOTALLY REMOVE* the spark plug? How much oil? The plug tip looks oily, or what? If it is oil INSIDE the cylinder, or water getting in, it sounds nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 A video of the rear of the car idling and revving a little may help us see the colour and amount of smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Post a photo of the plug. I am not convinced you are not saying there's oil on the outside of the plug, did you unscrew it and look at the bit that goes inside the cylinder? That white smoke looks like steam to me, has the head been off? I told you how to check if it's steam earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 could be a leaky rocker cover gasket....oil seeps down into the plug chamber. if the upper of the spark plug and end of the lead has oil on it, it will just be this.... i see it all the time....it can seep into the cylinder too if its bad enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) It does look like white water vapour. You are missing the fan shroud, has the car ever overheated? Also when did it first start to smoke? Have you checked the colour of the oil on the dipstick?

hodge Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I'd pull the head off have it inspected and pressure tested and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
