    110 blowing white smoke

    Hi all.

    I have a 110 county (4DB1).
    Recently took it for its first long drive and was running really well, until I pulled into a servo and noticed that there’s a load of white smoke coming from under the hood, passenger side
    Looks to be coming from the oil catch can / crankcase breather. There’s also oil in this general area and is dripping down the inside of the guard and onto the ground.
    Water temp is at about 75 and exhaust gas temp sits at about 350 when cruising.

    Any ideas ? First though is that this obviously isn’t good and could be the end of the engine

    White? Usually brake fluid or auto trans oil burns white. Anything like that in the vicinity?

    White / grey but definitely light coloured

    It’s used a little bit (2-3 caps) of dot 4 in the clutch filler too

    turbo or non-turbo? a oil supply or return line that is not tight could be squirting onto the turbo or exhaust and burning off as white(ish). If oil is bypassing the seal into the turbine, can burn off as white(ish) but usually exits via exhaust pipe.
