White smoke that smells like oil expels from the rocker cover vent tube as soon as you start the engine.
Cold engine / warm engine doesn稚 matter => oil smelling white smoke from the vent tube.
Engine seems to run fine. No loss of power.
Having run for ~30 minutes, small drips of oil started coming from the vent tube. Never seen oil dripping before / no stain on the floor where stored.
Pulled the oil dip stick tube (while the engine is running); same white smoke from the tube.
No visible evidence of coolant in oil (checked multiple times, engine off obviously).
Also the oil level is fine not making any oil
Ran a combustion leak test three times to test for combustion gas in the coolant negative for combustion gas in the coolant each time.
This is the test kit used:
Combustion Leak Tester | Cooling | UView
I?m thinking it's either the oil separator / deflector in the rocker cover has failed allowing oil mist to expel from the vent or the head gasket is leaking from the fire ring to the drain back causing the crank case to over pressure. Have not completed a compression test. Any other thoughts?
