[QUOTE="zeedo, post: 475903, member: 10193"] Question 2; a lot of reason for this...leaking gaskets, clogged oil separator + the hoses, vacuum pump oil seal leak..... For question no.3, if from the crankcase then most probably its the flywheel oil seal where it usually last for 5-6 years before it fails. The oil seal is cheap but you need to take out the GB so its labour intensive. White smoke is always associated with burned engine oil so need a through check up. May not need overhaul yet....or just top overhaul maybe and if you do so...please change the crankshaft pulse generator.....that thing will die w/o any sympton, already kena 2 months ago at Jln Kuching [/QUOTE]
