Smoke from oil dump tank


armchair

Recommended Posts

Hi, after justing buying my Westy I have given it some long needed TLC, after giving it a little run out I have noticed small wisps of smoke puffing out of the oil dump tank (it is a Xflow with dry sump mod and oil cooler) should I be worried about this or is it normal?

Thanks,

Ken.

Smoke? Are you certain? Not just vapour? Oil smoke will be blue, vapour is steam-like.

Can't see how smoke would get anywhere near, vapour is perfectly normal.

Thanks for that, Yep its white/grey so I guess it is vapour, Just changed the oil which was well needed looking at the state of what was coming out :)

Cheers.

Ken.

You will get a little oil vapour/smoke from a cross flow - this is normal
