armchair Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samcooke Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armchair Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammy Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 You will get a little oil vapour/smoke from a cross flow - this is normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
