Morning guys
Basically the just of it is i seem to be losing oil and blowing a white ish smoke at high RPM, i have been told this is either rings or stem seals but
Basically the just of it is i seem to be losing oil and blowing a white ish smoke at high RPM, i have been told this is either rings or stem seals but
- well today finally received the egr cheater and fitted the plate etc, also received the opcom so happy days. this evening after removing the fault codes i done a proper run
- So 3 runs in low gears high rpm in 1,2,3
1st Run
1st gear to 6k grey/whitish smoke from rear only after 5k
2nd gear upto 5.5k very little smoke only after 5k
3rd gear upto 5k no smoke
2nd run
1st gear upto 6k no smoke
2nd gear upto 5.5k little smoke only after 5k
3rd gear upto 5(ish) no smoke
3rd run
1st gear upto 6k grey/white smoke only after 5k
2nd gear upto 6k no smoke
3rd gear upto 5)ish) no smoke
i assumed if it was seals/rings it would either constantly smoke or smoke all the time at high RPM. Also the smoke isnt as bad as it was with the broken centre section lol
I have also read the codes and they are
P1574 - (0)
P0405 - (0)
P0571 - (0)
I also took a CSV of all the settings at idle see below See if anyone notices anything out of the ordinary (this was taken at idle)

So heres my thinking correct me if im wrong, If it was burning oil wouldnt a sensor somewhere detect this and throw up some codes especially if the dipstick was clean in 10 days?
This their is oil at the back of the engine could it be possible its only burning a little oil and possibly leaking the rest (only when the engine is running) as i cant find any puddles of oil anywhere. I have looked around the cam gasket and one of the bolts 2nd from the left on the top is broken. The oil at the back of the engine is actually clean(ish) oil (yellowish), so it must be from when i just put it in, what other gaskets could i check

The egr valve code above is after i cleared the code and after a run of 30 miles. it still shows the egr but the EML light is off
