hi,
i had almost the same issue and worried to give it for the shop to open the engine with an open bell!! i have alredy shared the situation on another thread but didnt get that much of advice..maybe wrong thread:
The problem I have looks like the one described here but still I will need your urgent feedback before the dealer opens my engine with open bank check!!
So, start the engine, normal, no smoke no engine noise just a normal wonderful powerful vehicle..
Waiting around 5-10 minutes, push on the fuel pedal
white smoke goes out from the passenger side exhaust then disappears completely
waiting another 5 minutes and push again
white smoke appear !! drive, stop at traffic light or side, push fuel , white smoke.. but while idle or driving no smoke at all
Add to that, around every 1-2K mile, oil is consumes by almost a liter and I have to add oil from time to time
, search with the technician around the engine,,, not symptoms for oil leak!
Would it be the Oil Separator as you all say! And if so is it something complicated to do and requires to take out the engine in order to replace it?
Your advice might save thousands so Plz be generic :-)
