Hi Folks,

Here's another one. I have smoke seeping out of the oil dipstick tube. I don't think that is normal. I think its causing an oil leak. Any feed back will help.

Thanks

I assume it's puffing out when running and not just when turned off? If when running it

Mine did that for about a year before I found the large crack in my piston, worst case I guess. May be rings.
