This is not oil smoke as such, I'm one of these pedantic people who dip the oil EVERY time prior to starting.
NEVER have had to add oil since last oil change.
I'd just about be willing to bet the farm that this is diesel fuel smoke, not oil!
When I first fired the engine up, and it had been unstarted for some months, it didnt have the return fuel line back to the tank hooked up, which could have, according to some, causing the injector pump to "overfuel".
This has since been rectified and the return line, after checking it was clear and free flowing, you can hear return fuel running back, even had it returning into a seperate 4 litre plastic container, so know that its not " backing up" any surplus fuel at the pump.
About 6-8 months ago, rang a mobile pump/injector who said If I took the pump and injectors off and took them into him, he would check them out and I 'd then put them back in myself.
When I fronted him about whether he ran a 'mobile' service or not he told me he worked one out by himself and he was flat out doing farm
Implements, said there wasnt any screaming hurry, but wanted it done and willing to pay for same, but reluctant to touch the pump itself.
Reploed with , "well, take the squirters out first and we'll do them , you'll at least be able to rule them out"
May make sense to some, but after a working life with trucks and eartmoving gear, always seen them done together .
Took my phone number, as I said, 6-8 months ago now, still havent heard from him, so for mine, he can do without my patronage.
